| description | Cloud services have emerged as one of the most promising solutions for
many real world issues. They can be used in a wide variety of applications ranging
from cloud storage, cloud computing, and cloud applications. However, they are a
double-edged sword from security and privacy standpoints, especially when storing
sensitive data in cloud storage. Therefore, besides secure they require efficient
security solutions to obtain the necessary security level. The current security
solutions are designed to work mainly on either the client side or the server side, and
this strategy may cause a reduction of either the performance of the system or the
security of the data. In this thesis, we have proposed a security solution based on an
ECC algorithm to improve the security and the performance of the data by dividing
the file content and encrypting it on both the server and the client side. The proposed
solution improves the performance of the standard ECC and outperforms the AES
algorithm in terms of encryption speed and response time. |
