Data Encryption in Cloud Storage

Abstract

Among the critical aspects directly linked to technology evolvement is cloud computing. Over the years, the amount of data among people and businesses has been growing, posing a challenge to its storage and management. To help address this issue, tech professionals and companies have attempted to find a secure, reliable, trusted, and user-friendly solution to data storage and management, among such solutions being cloud computing. Storing data in the cloud promotes on-demand services and intense applications boosted by a secured system of configurable computing resources. However, before a user decides to outsource personal data to the cloud, it must be protected by integrating distinct data encryption techniques. Data encryption is essential in advancing the security of any data that users store in cloud storage. Data encryption is classified into symmetric encryption and asymmetric encryption.
