“…The extensive analysis of the CloudJS algorithm concerning parameters and other cloud encryption algorithm (AES and DES) shows the following advantages: The ratio of plain text file size to ciphertext file size generated during the encryption process of the cloud states that there is not much overhead generated when the encrypted file is stored onto the cloud. The ideal characteristics of a cloud encryption algorithm must be lightweight but appropriately complex so that it is difficult to crack the file through brute force attack (Omer K. Jasim Mohammad et al , 2013). Choosing the principle random value in a cloud algorithm is one of the essential steps of encryption.…”

“…In O K Jasim Mohammad et al (2013), two asymmetric (RSA and DH) and five symmetric (DES, 3DES, RC4, AES and Blowfish) encryption algorithms are compared based on parameters like key size, size of ciphertext and overall performance. AES was the best algorithm in terms of speed.…”

“…Various encryption algorithms, including symmetric (AES, DES, Blowfish, 3DES, RC4 and RC6), asymmetric (RSA, DSA and Diffie- Hellman Key Exchange) and hybrid encryption algorithms have been implemented to ensure secure file storage and access in the cloud environment. While analyzing the algorithms, various drawbacks for each algorithm were identified, such as 3DES does not perform well in terms of running time, power consumption and throughput (Thakur and Kumar, 2011), RSA is slower as compared to symmetric encryption algorithms and is prone to timing attacks (O K Jasim Mohammad et al , 2013), Blowfish suffers from weak keys problem (Thakur and Kumar, 2011) and DES is susceptible to various attacks and can be cracked easily using modern technologies (Aleisa, 2015). Symmetric algorithms are faster than asymmetric algorithms (Yassein et al , 2017), AES algorithm proved to be the most efficient encryption algorithm and most widely used based on various parameters (Altigani et al , 2019; Bhardwaj et al , 2016; O K Jasim Mohammad et al , 2013; Singh and Supriya, 2013; Wani et al , 2017) and a combination of algorithms is believed to perform better as compared to standalone algorithms (Singh and Supriya, 2013).…”

Purpose Cloud computing is becoming increasingly popular as it facilitates convenient, ubiquitous, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources and applications that can be quickly retrieved and released. Despite its numerous merits, it faces setbacks in data security and privacy. Data encryption is one of the most popular solutions for data security in the cloud. Various encryption algorithms have been implemented to address security concerns. These algorithms have been reviewed along with the Jumbling Salting algorithm and its applications. The framework for using Jumbling Salting to encrypt text files in the cloud environment (CloudJS) has been thoroughly studied and improvised. The purpose of this paper is to implement the CloudJS algorithm, to discuss its performance and compare the obtained results with existing cloud encryption schemes. Design/methodology/approach The paper uses six research questions to analyze the performance of CloudJS algorithm in the cloud environment. The research questions are about measuring encryption time and throughput, decryption time and throughput, the ratio of cipher to the plain text of CloudJS algorithm with respect to other Cloud algorithms like AES and DES. For this purpose, the algorithm has been implemented using dockers-containers in the Linux environment. Findings It was found that CloudJS performs well in terms of encryption time, decryption time and throughput. It is marginally better than AES and undoubtedly better than DES in these parameters. The performance of the algorithm is not affected by a number of CPU cores, RAM size and Line size of text files. It performs decently well in all scenarios and all resultant values fall in the desired range. Research limitations/implications CloudJS can be tested with cloud simulation platforms (CloudSim) and cloud service providers (AWS, Google Cloud). It can also be tested with other file types. In the future, CloudJS algorithm can also be implemented in images and other files. Originality/value To the best of the knowledge, this is the first attempt to implement and analysis of a custom encryption algorithm (CloudJS) in the cloud environment using dockers-containers.

With the advancement of science and technology internet related communicative techniques have taken prominent roles in everyday activities. However threat of hackers and malicious groups have grown along with these advancements. It is the role of the security mechanisms to protect the sensitive data from passive and active attacks. There are different kinds of encryption algorithms to make sure that the data sent through internet is secure from any sort of attacks. Several cryptographic algorithms have been developed for encryption with each one having some advantages and disadvantages. This paper proposes an encryption technique namely AO_Enc CT to hide the nonnumeric data from the unauthorized users. The sample data are implemented in the proposed technique and the results are derived to prove that the proposed technique is higher security in protecting the data of the user.
