AN EFFICIENT SECURITY FRAMEWORK FOR DATA MIGRATION IN A CLOUD COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT

Abstract

Cloud computing is advantageous in several applications. Data migration is constantly carried out to hybrid or public cloud. Certain large enterprises will not move their business-critical data and applications to the cloud. This is due to the concerns regarding data security and privacy protection. In this paper, we provide a data security analysis and solution for privacy protection framework during data migration. A Secure Socket Layer (SSL) is established and migration tickets with minimum privilege is introduced. Further, data encryption is done using Prediction Based Encryption (PBE). This system will be of use for healthcare systems and e-commerce systems that can store data regarding credit card details. We provide a strict separation between sensitive and non-sensitive data and provide encryption for the sensitive data.
