INNOVATIVE APPROACH ENSURING SECURITY AND PRIVACY IN CLOUD COMPUTING

Abstract

Many organizations had been keeping their data on the clouds. The trend nowhas
been shifted from the pre-reservation of resources to store, manage and process data on clouds. In the
information technology, the most challenging task isthe security of data and to avoid technical and
internal failures and attacks of unauthorized accesses. Consequently, the emphasis of this study was
toimplement Honey Encryption (HE)that offered more confidentiality and flexibility against the brute
force attacks. HE ensured that the message that wasdecrypted with false keys, which looked like a
valid key, so it was difficult to differentiate between authentic and unauthentic data. This study
providedthe confidentiality of data and maintained consistent relations integral in the cloud. It
empowered the user to perform computation and storage tasks withoutrevealing data innards.
