Optimal Solution for Data Storage Security in Cloud Computing (OSDSS-CC)

Abstract

In the recent decade, Cybersecurity and Cloud Computing have become important research and development areas due to the high necessity of applications in this paradigm for different sectors such as education, economy, and public services. The use of encryption algorithms becomes more critical in trying to secure the data during the transmission and storage of the data. There is leakage in the optimal security solution for cloud computing that covers all factors such as performance and security. This research work aims to analyze the Cybersecurity weakness in the Cloud Computing applications and optimize a modern solution that concentrates on performance and security at the same time. As a first step in analyzing the Cloud Computing environment security, three modern security mechanisms for Cloud applications are simulated and evaluated in terms of security and performance. Analyzed results provide an essential indicator for using this security mechanism and show the need to design an optimal security mechanism suitable to cover the main security parameters for the cloud environment. This motivates to propose an optimal method for using advantage of the studied security algorithms to enhance cloud computing security with optimal cost.
