Privacy in the Cloud Using ECC and DH

Abstract

Individuals nowadays frequently save their data on distributed storage. When it comes to storing data on the cloud, security is a major concern. Cryptography processes are particularly useful for enforcing information security. To improve the security of information stored on distributed storage, a mixed cryptography architecture is presented. The proposed method employs Elliptic Curve Cryptography and Diffie Hellman (ECC and DH) and combines two types of computation to provide improved security on data before it is stored in the cloud. The suggested computation is implemented in JAVA and tested on a plain text sample. The project will be extremely beneficial for storing information on the cloud. It is verified that the proposed computing method is correct.
