Many symmetric and asymmetric encryption algorithms have been developed in cloud computing to transmit data in a secure form. Cloud cryptography is a data encryption mechanism that consists of different steps and prevents the attacker from misusing the data. This paper has developed an efficient algorithm to protect the data from invaders and secure the data from misuse. If this algorithm is applied to the cloud network, the attacker will not be able to access the data. To encrypt the data, the values of the bytes have been obtained by converting the plain text to ASCII. A key has been generated using the Non-Deterministic Bit Generator (NRBG) mechanism, and the key is XNORed with plain text bits, and then Bit toggling has been implemented. After that, an efficient matrix cipher encryption algorithm has been developed, and this algorithm has been applied to this text. The capability of this algorithm is that with its help, a key has been obtained from the plain text, and only by using this key can the data be decrypted in the first steps. A plain text key will never be used for another plain text. The data has been secured by implementing different mechanisms in both stages, and after that, a ciphertext has been obtained. At the end of the article, the latest technique will be compared with different techniques. There will be a discussion on how the present technique is better than all the other techniques; then, the conclusion will be drawn based on comparative analysis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Due to the wide variety of distant information transmission, data encryption has become an absolute necessity for practically all data transaction applications. Sensitive data gets uploaded to the cloud every day through many methods. AES algorithm is now the best option for many applications that require security services. Because of this, a lot of research has been carried out to improve the performance and efficiency of the algorithm. This paper's main goal is to propose an improved method for encrypting and decrypting data. As key sharing was a significant problem in the symmetric approach, we generate the key using the ECC and will encrypt and decrypt data using the AES using this key. The suggested algorithm, which is simpler than ECC and solely utilized for key generation-not data encryption or decryption-is more secure than AES because it circumvents the key-sharing issue that plagued AES.

Electronics-Health Care is one of the new ideas in the healthcare industry. For analyzing the patient's records, doctors need a centralized record of the patients, which gives useful and enormous information. There will be a threat of leaking of confidential e-health data, which will seriously endanger by modifying the health care data of medical and its individual entities. Protection of the confidential data of patients will be a primary constraint in the health care industry. There is a lot of progressiveness in the human services area as well as there is a lot of usage of the information gathered from various sensors and this information is stored in the cloud. As per the existing security algorithms, there is still some security breach and also it won't get satisfied with integrity and consistency while transferring the data from one vendor to others in the health care system. It also causes high spoofing of IP and side channel hackers. With the increase in the use of the internet, there is an increase in hacking also, especially in the health-care sector, e-commerce, military, and Education. Dealing with the huge volume of information in the electronics-healthcare area requires the processing of patient's information day by day and its memory allocation. Cloud is the best option to store these health records in a distributed manner rather than on a single server. So, whatever the information gathered from it will be encoded on block chain technology and an anonymous digital ring signature will be used to authorize the intended user and maintain the privacy of patient cloud-based data distributed Electronics health record system before sending the information to the cloud storage. In this paper, the protection of Personal data of the patient health data is enhanced with block chain and anonymous ring signatures in the e-healthcare cloud; thus making it suitable for real-time applications.

Cloud computing is a rapidly advancing paradigm that enables users to access various services and resources anytime, anywhere. With this advancement, security has become a major concern for business organisations and individuals, and hence, it is essential to ensure that the services are provided with high data security. Numerous researches have focused on devising effective techniques to enhance data security. However, with the increasing connectivity, security still remains to be a major challenge. This paper devises a novel data protection scheme in the cloud by using the Twofish encryption algorithm and a key generation scheme with the Bald Eagle Pelican Optimization (BEPO) Algorithm. The proposed Twofish+BEPO_KeyGen is implemented in various phases, like initialization, registration, key generation, data encryption, authentication, validation and data sharing, and data decryption. Here, the Twofish algorithm is used to encrypt the data that has to be outsourced to the cloud, and for encryption, the security key required is generated by the BEPO algorithm. The efficacy of the Twofish+BEPO_KeyGen approach is examined by considering metrics, like memory usage, validation time, normalized variance, and conditional privacy, and is detected to have achieved values of 76.3 MB, 37.278 s, 1.665, and 0.926, correspondingly.

With the development of big data technology, medical data has become increasingly important. It not only contains personal privacy information, but also involves medical security issues. This paper proposes a secure data fitting scheme based on CKKS (Cheon-Kim-Kim-Song) homomorphic encryption algorithm for medical IoT. The scheme encrypts the KGGLE-HDP (Heart Disease Prediction) dataset through CKKS homomorphic encryption, calculates the data's weight and deviation. By using the gradient descent method, it calculates the weight and bias of the data. The experimental results show that under the KAGGLE-HDP dataset,we select the threshold value is 0.7 and the parameter setting is (Poly_modulus_degree, Coeff_mod_bit_sizes, Scale) = (16384; 43, 23, 23, 23, 23, 23, 23, 23, 23, 23, 23, 23, 43; 23), the number of iteration is 3 and the recognition accuracy of this scheme can achieve 96.7%. The scheme shows that it has a high recognition accuracy and better privacy protection than other data fitting schemes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Cloud Technology is astronomically used by business companies. It offers an on-request service, substantial network connectivity, flexibility, and other benefits. The use of cloud services is hampered by several security issues. When a user processes and uploads confidential data to the cloud platform, it must be sent and stored securely. Transferring sensitive or classified texts, the encryption technique is applied to hide private information, the Affine Cipher method is used, a type of mono-alphabetic substitution encryption, where each letter of the English alphabet is mapped to its numerical equivalent, encoded using a mathematical function and returned in letters. What this system does is that it allows users with accounts authorized by the cloud owner to log into the system with a username and password, to preserve the encryption and decryption of the text that they previously exchanged publicly. The encryption of the text is done by generating two keys, while the receiver of the encrypted text must send two keys to decrypt the text. If the encrypted text is sent publicly, others will not know what it is, and it will be received by the recipient. This algorithm makes it possible to make sure that the encrypted text is sent secretly without interference from Internet abusers. The system for coding uses PHP 8.0 and the online MySQL database to store all related information. Finally, the encrypted and decrypted texts are stored in the database of the Azure Cloud, the project will be accessed in the web browser through the link generated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Cloud computing has spread widely among different organizations due to its advantages, such as cost reduction, resource pooling, broad network access, and ease of administration. It increases the abilities of physical resources by optimizing shared use. Clients' valuable items (data and applications) are moved outside of regulatory supervision in a shared environment where many clients are grouped together. However, this process poses security concerns, such as sensitive information theft and personally identifiable data leakage. Many researchers have contributed to reducing the problem of data security in cloud computing by developing a variety of technologies to secure cloud data, including encryption. In this study, a set of encryption algorithms (advance encryption standard (AES), data encryption standard (DES), Blowfish, Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA) encryption, and international data encryption algorithm (IDEA) was compared in terms of security, data encipherment capacity, memory usage, and encipherment time to determine the optimal algorithm for securing cloud information from hackers. Results show that RSA and IDEA are less secure than AES, Blowfish, and DES). The AES algorithm encrypts a huge amount of data, takes the least encipherment time, and is faster than other algorithms, and the Blowfish algorithm requires the least amount of memory space.

With the development of cloud computing and its technologies, most institutions and users are interested in storing their sensitive information on third-party servers. Most of the data has been collected using the Internet of Things (IoT) devices which must be saved in the cloud for further analysis. Intermediate access or unauthorized users trying to access sensitive information during the data storage causes data confidentiality, integrity, and privacy-related issues. The IoT devices are integrated with fog computing to carry out the specific computation, latency, and storage over the internet backbone. However, the IoT with Fog computing process ensures the enormous way of managing data security, data latency, privacy, and security are significant issues. In this work, the cryptographic algorithm with the clustering algorithm is developed to manage data security in a distributed environment to overcome this issue. Initially, the cluster heads are identified according to the power probabilistic criteria, and the clustering process is performed for making the data transmission in the fog systems. During data transmission, data security is managed by applying the noise protocol framework encryption process. The encryption technique utilized the various cryptographic functions that effectively manage the privacy and security of the data. The introduced system has been compared with another probabilistic clustering scheme named energy-Efficient Heterogeneous Clustering Algorithm (EEHCA). The discussed process to minimize the intermediate attacks also overcome the node high energy consumption while transmitting the data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Cloud technology provides services for storing and accessing a large amount of data with ease of access and less cost. Sensitive data such as patients' electronic health information should be encrypted before outsourcing into the cloud. Many traditional encryption methods are used for protecting data in the cloud, but unable to perform computation on encrypted data. Homomorphic encryption operates directly on the ciphertext. In this study, a Secure Partially Homomorphic Encryption (SPHE) algorithm is proposed to secure the outsourced data and perform multiplication and division operations on the ciphertext. The access control policy in the cloud environment is more flexible. An attacker can easily collect sensitive data by abusing the access policy of another user. Therefore, the database privacy is compromised. Creating a role hierarchy and managing the session is difficult in the cloud environment. The above issues motivate us to develop a model which is the integration of the proposed scheme SPHE with role-based user policy. The model is implemented in Eclipse IDE (Integrated Development Environment) and AWS (Amazon Web Service) Toolkit for Eclipse and deployed in Amazon Elastic Beanstalk (EB) environment. This model is particularly used for securing the patient e-health details and performing computation on outsourced data. The patient details are encrypted by the algorithm SPHE and uploaded in AWS S3 (Simple Storage Service) bucket. The users are created by AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) service and the access level policy is defined based on user roles in EB environment. The proposed model performance is studied by comparing with other partially homomorphic methods Elgamal, Pailler, and Benaloh. This model achieves data integrity and data confidentiality using the role-based user policy with SPHE. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
