Layer-based Privacy and Security Architecture for Cloud Data Sharing

Abstract

The management of data while maintaining its utility and preservation of security scheme is a matter of concern for the cloud owner. In order to minimize the overhead at cloud service provider of applying security over each document and then send it to the client, we propose a layered architecture. This approach maintains security of the sensitive document and privacy of its data sensitivity. To make a balance between data security and utility, the proposed approach categorizes the data according to its sensitivity. Perseverance of various categorization requires different algorithmic schemes. We set up a cloud distributed environment where data is categorized into four levels of sensitivity; public, confidential, secret, top secret and a different approach has been used to preserve the security at each level. At the most sensitive layers i.e. secret and top secret data, we made a provision to detect the faulty node that is responsible for data leakage. Finally, experimental analysis is carried out to analyze the performance of the layered approach. The experimental results show that time taken (in ms) in processing 200 documents of size 20 MB is 437, 2239, 3142, 3900 for public, confidential, secret and top secret data respectively when the documents are distributed among distinct users, which proves the practicality of the proposed approach.

A Cloud Privacy-Preserving Model Using Gaussian Mutation-Based Bacterial Foraging Optimization and Genetic Crossover Operation

“…As a result, exposure to an unauthorised point is avoided. However, an optimal key generation performs the proposed data cleansing process [15]. The proposed Chaotic chemotaxis and Gaussian mutation-based Bacterial Foraging Optimization with genetic crossover operation (CGBFO-GC) improve this process.…”

Secure Data Storage and Sharing Techniques for Data Protection in Cloud Environments: A Systematic Review, Analysis, and Future Directions

“…It allows users to obtain the intended services across multiple platforms irrespective of location and time and consequently conveys an extensive convenience to the cloud users [6]. By migrating the local data management system into cloud storage and using cloud-based services, users can accomplish cost savings and productivity enhancements to manage projects and establish collaborations [7]. Therefore, individuals and organizations are shifting increasingly to the cloud for their multiple services [8].…”
