    Security issues and their resolutions in cloud based services
    (Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana-, 2020) Simranjit Kaur; Jain, Lokesh
    The use of cloud technology is surging high these days and it is capable of handling tremendous amount of business records and processes. It not only cuts the cost incurred by storing and handling data at a very minimal price, but also enables the users to stay connected to their data at any given moment just by connecting to the Internet. Although this added advantage encourages a lot of people to store their data in the cloud, the cloud still requires a deep analysis to eradicate the many issues it has. This research focuses on going through cloud security papers and surveys to find problems. A hybrid cryptographic scheme, Hybrid Elliptic curve Cryptography-Triple Data encryption Standard (ECC-TDES), has been proposed so as to increase the data security over cloud. Through these hybrid algorithms, the data not only gets added security, but it also gains immunity to certain malicious attacks that the cloud might face. For the test runs, audio, video, image and text files of size 10-100 KB were uploaded to a cloud-based web application encrypted with the proposed algorithm in order to record performance metrics like encryption time, decryption time and accuracy. The results were then put in comparison to both ECC and TDES algorithms, individually. The outcome of the comparison showed that even though ECC-TDES takes more encryption/decryption time, it manages to get the highest accuracy at 0.1 per cent error rate.
