Building a Cloud Storage Encryption (CSE) Architecture for Enhancing Cloud Security


Hamdan M. Al-Sabri and Saleh M. Al-Saleem

Cloud computing is one of the most important way that allows sharing distributed sources currently, as it\'s also complex and result in many security-related issues. Overall data security is an important factor in cloud computing as encryption technologies play a key role in secure data in the cloud storage, as the outsourcing of data storage concern in terms of security. We need to encryption technologies to ensure the confidentiality of data during transport to cloud storage. This paper proposed Cloud Storage Encryption (CSE) Architecture by using encryption/ searchable encryption technologies to provide a high level of data protection during transfer to cloud storage. The proposed Architecture is composed of seven components (Director generate Keys and privileges, Users of Data, The role of users, Encryption Point, Decryption Point, Searchable Encryption , and Cloud Data Storage). The CSE Architecture allow Encrypts data and indexed in a manner that ensures the protection of data during transport as it allows the search process in the encrypted data and retrieval in a safe manner. Moreover, Policy encryption / decryption and access method is discussed.

Keywords: Cloud Computing, Security, Encryption Techniques, Cloud Data Storage (CDS), Cloud Data Storage Security (CDSS), Cloud Storage Encryption (CSE) Architecture.
