Introduction: Cloud Storage Security and Homomorphic Encryption in Cloud Computing

Pushpjeet Cholkar, Dr. Margi Patel

Abstract: Cloud computing, is one of the key hybrids of Internet-based computing that allows on-demand sharing of resources, including processing and data storage to globally separated machines and other smart electronic devices. This coherent model supports ubiquitous, on-demand access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources. Cloud data storage solutions constitute a significant application area in the cloud computing domain. In this work, cloud storage security is area of focus. These security measures are configured to protect cloud storage, support regulatory compliance and protect customers' privacy as well as setting authentication rules for individual users and devices. Additionally, the overview of homomorphic encryption technique is used for cloud storage security purpose.
