Integrating RSA Encryption in Remote Data Integrity Checking

Abstract: Cloud computing storage services offer a convenient means of maintaining and managing large volumes of data at a minimal cost. However, they do not guarantee data integrity. Data is transferred to remote cloud servers that may be unsafe or untrustworthy, raising the risk of unauthorized manipulation by external entities or unintentional modification by service providers. Protecting data from potential hackers has thus become imperative to safeguard its integrity. To address this challenge, the paper proposes an Enhanced Data Integrity technique tailored for cloud computing environments. As part of this journal, I am implementing the proposed RSA (Rivest - Shamir - Adleman) algorithm. In comparison to the DES (Data Encryption Standard) algorithm, RSA offers superior security and efficiency. Upon file upload by the data owner, the data is automatically encrypted using the RSA algorithm, thereby bolstering data integrity within the cloud computing framework. when a data owner uploads a file to the cloud, it is automatically encrypted using the RSA algorithm. This encryption process is pivotal in bolstering data integrity within the cloud infrastructure, as it protects against unauthorized manipulation by external threats and unintentional modifications by service providers. By implementing this Enhanced Data Integrity technique, the paper aims to mitigate the risks associated with cloud storage and ensure the security of data in transit and at rest.
