Abstract:
In the era of ubiquitous cloud storage, ensuring the security and privacy of sensitive data has become paramount. This post-graduate student project, titled “CRYPTCLOUD+,” addresses this concern by proposing a comprehensive solution for secure and expressive data access control in cloud and security storage environments. The project leverages Java as its primary programming language to implement a robust system that enhances the existing data protection mechanisms.
Existing System of cloud and security:
The current state of cloud storage systems often relies on traditional access control models that may fall short in providing granular control over data access. Additionally, concerns regarding data confidentiality, integrity, and fine-grained access control persist. CRYPTCLOUD+ aims to overcome these limitations and introduce an advanced, secure, and expressive data access control mechanism.
Proposed System: CRYPTCLOUD+ introduces an innovative access control model that ensures both the security and flexibility needed to protect sensitive information stored in the cloud. The system employs encryption techniques, access policies, and user authentication mechanisms to achieve a fine-grained and expressive control over data access. The proposed solution aims to enhance the overall confidentiality and integrity of data in cloud storage.
System Requirements:
- Minimum of 8GB RAM
- Quad-core processor
- 100GB of free storage space
- Internet connection for authentication and updates
Hardware Requirements:
- Standard PC or laptop
- Reliable internet connectivity for cloud interactions
Software Requirements:
- Java Development Kit (JDK)
- Integrated Development Environment (IDE) such as Eclipse or IntelliJ
- Cloud storage account (e.g., AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure)
Architecture:
CRYPTCLOUD+ adopts a client-server architecture, where the client is responsible for user interactions, policy definition, and encryption/decryption tasks, while the server manages authentication, access control enforcement, and cloud storage interactions. The system incorporates cryptographic libraries for secure key management and encryption/decryption processes.
Technologies Used in cloud and security:
- Java for application development
- Spring Framework for server-side application structure
- Cryptographic libraries for data encryption/decryption
- RESTful APIs for communication between client and server
- Cloud storage APIs for interacting with the chosen cloud platform
Web User Interface: The project includes an intuitive web-based user interface that allows users to define access policies, manage encryption keys, and monitor access logs. The interface is designed for simplicity and user-friendliness, ensuring that users can easily navigate and utilize the advanced features provided by CRYPTCLOUD+.
In conclusion, CRYPTCLOUD+ aims to contribute significantly to the field of cloud data security by introducing a robust, secure, and expressive data access control solution. Through the utilization of Java and various technologies, the project endeavors to provide a user-friendly experience while ensuring the confidentiality and integrity of data stored in the cloud.
