I. INTRODUCTION
Cloud computing provides cloud services online. The Cloud computing model allows apps once information is accessed remotely.
Three levels of services used are d to define as cloud computing infrastructure as a service (IaaS), Software as a service (SaaS), and
Platform as a Service(PaaS). IaaS provides visual equipment and storage to users. SaaS provides users with frameworks to improve
cloud hosting applications to develop, use, analyze, and manage theorem services. PaaS provides users with services and
applications with a web browser anywhere at any time and any place. Data security is a major issue as data is being held is a third
party, and the risk is high if users gather information in transparent manner storage also provides a backup tool. Cloud is divided
into three categories. There are a public cloud, virtual cloud, and hybrid cloud cloth most popular security issues in cloud computing
are data recovery issues, data privacy, Integrity, Availability, Confidentiality, Operational privacy, unauthorized access to such
management interface, vulnerability in virtual machine(VM)script illustration, data leakage risk, challenges with security metrics
&monitoring, Trouble regarding digital key management & numeric codes Cloud interoperability problem, and monitoring activity
patterns. Cryptography refers to the process of converting plain text into unreadable text Cryptography might be used to identify
users as well as safeguard data from theft and modification. Cryptography contains three categories: secret key (symmetric)
cryptographic public-key key (asymmetric) cryptography, as well as hash functions. Public key encryption is referred to as
symmetric key exchange in the middle of the transmitter as well as the receiver of data. In Asymmetric key cryptography, public-
key encryption is a kind of encryption that employs two distinct keys, one for encryption (public key) and decryption (private key).
The public key, everyone knows, and the private key, then only the owner knows For cryptography, the following three algorithms
were proved to be effective in terms of encryption/decryption time and other parameters for cloud storage: DES is an algorithm
program that takes a fixed-length stream of plaintext bits as well as, apparently limiting decoding to those who aware of the
encryption key takes a secure block size of 128,192, or 256 bits. The cipher is defined as many transformations Long repetitions that
transform the input of the cipher text’s last output. Each round involves multiple processing steps, together with one that relies on
the encryption key. A series of reverse rounds are applied to turn the ciphertext again into plain text just using the same encryption
key. Rivest Cipher four (RC4) is a symmetric-key block cipher invented by Ron Rivets. The RC4 algorithm performs bit-wise
encryption and decryption with a key length of 40-128 bits.

The RC4 algorithm is widely used to secure the transport layer. Because The Rivest cipher four is still a stream cipher, it produces
streams of bits, with each byte of the same text to be encrypted. The password for data encryption is called the secret key. These
algorithms are less efficient in providing full-time security to cloud data. As these algorithms work individualities are supposed to
be less effective in furnishing full-time security to pall data. To ameliorate the effectiveness mongrel system of the named
algorithms was conducted for high-position security. This exploration substantially focuses on the performance evaluation
of different algorithms for the security of pall storehouse and provides a comparison of cold-blooded security encryption systems
with every single algorithm.

II. LITERATURE REVIEW

Described Information technology was used in a variety of ways in nearly every element of life. As it stands, applicable security has
always been a major concern that requires further attention. To guard and cover shared and sensitive data, various strategies have
been used. This study concentrated on cryptography as a means of achieving zero forbearance for data in vehicle security. Still, the
Private or Secret Pivotal Encryption Structure must be named as the mode for administering security to meliorate the security and
effectiveness of the system of vital data.
This study concentrated on cryptography as a means of achieving zero forbearance for data in-vehicle security Likewise, to increase
the security and effectiveness of essential data, the Private or Secret Pivotal Encryption Structure must be chosen as the paradigm
for administering security. This study trouble established three encryption ways analogous to DES, AES, and EB64 algorithms and
compared their performances on both encryption and decryption processes predicated on the assessment of encryption and
decryption time supplied at each separate experimental step. The trial findings were used to assess the effectiveness of each
algorithm on a cell phone.
The results of the numerous studies for SMS plaintext encryption and decryption reveal that EB64 encryption and decryption time is
faster than AES and DES. There are various advantages to cloud computing, as well as a few security issues. This study addresses
the numerous data security risks that arise when using cloud computing in a multi-tenant environment, as well as potential solutions.
This study also goes over cloud computing principles including deployment and service delivery methods. Data leakage or
corruption can destroy people's trust and lead to the business' collapse in any commercial or Cloud Computing setting. Many
businesses use cloud computing, either directly or indirectly, therefore any data breach in cloud computing affects both cloud
computing and the company's operations.
This is one of the main reasons why cloud computing companies are paying more attention to data security. Sharma
et.al.,[7]discussed that Cloud computing is becoming increasingly popular in today's environment. used in a variety of settings,
including industry, military colleges, and others, must be able to store a large amount of data On the user's request, we can retrieve
data from the cloud.
To save data on the cloud, we had to solve many problems. There are numerous approaches to providing a solution to these
problems. Many challenges arise when storing data to address these concerns, we use a hybrid cryptography methodology. A
fundamental method is ineffective for high-level data security in cloud computing. To achieve block-wise security, this system
employs the AES, DES, and RC2 algorithms.
The stenography approach is used to secure key information for all algorithms with a key size of 128 bits. The key information
specifies which algorithm and key are used to encrypt particular parts of the file. Distributed computing is a novel and fast-growing
set of IT services delivered to a client over the internet on a rental basis, with the option to scale up or down
management requirements. It makes use of the power of web-based processing and how information, data, and other assets may be
exchanged with clients via PC or mobile devices. This audit has been focused on how to securely store data and information in
distributed storage, as well as what measures have been made to address security concerns.

III. MATERIALS AND METHODS

Cryptography on most levels is better than using one algorithm. We need to use a combination of algorithms for that they are
compatible with each other. In hybridization, we use AES, DES, and RC4 algorithms. Encrypting data using a hybrid system
algorithm is the first step and after sending it to Encrypt file via key encryption and access cryptographic content form using cloud
service.
We need to make sure that keys are then encrypted to encrypt data. After The key to encrypt the encryption process is applied to the
cipher data through the concealment process. It consists of two types of components described in table 1.

C. Experimentation of Mongrel System

This suggested mongrel cryptography fashion is designed to cover information and data transferred over the internet. The mongrel
cryptography algorithm is to cipher as well as secure data effectively. In the suggested mongrel cryptography fashion, three
encryption ways were applied. These styles are cold-blooded, and they're used to increase the encryption algorithm's effectiveness in
terms of both time as well as security. As the information is used Cold-blooded algorithms enhance the security of encryption ways
while also minimizing the time needed by algorithms that take a lengthy period to maintain security.

In such cases, a hybrid encryption strategy is employed. The enormous amount of data is encrypted using the AES technique, and
the AES key is encrypted using the DES algorithm in this methodology. The data cipher form is obtained by utilizing RC4 and an
AES encrypted message and a DES-encrypted AES key. When the message is received, the AES key is first encrypted utilizing
DES private key, and then the message is decrypted using the RC4 key. This hybrid encryption technique with java source code is
demonstrated in figure 3. Encrypted and the decrypted text file are shown in figure 4 and figure 5 respectively. Figure 6 and figure 7
show Encrypted and decrypted image files respectively.

IV. RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS

The studies are carried out on various sizes, using a hybrid of three algorithms: AES, RC4 as well as DES. The overall analysis of
these algorithms is assessed using parameters like time for execution, and memory associated with implementation, also including
the throughput.JAVA was being used to construct the established comparison model. The goal of the suggested hybrid cryptography
method is to discover which of the previously described encryption techniques is the fastest and safest. So it allows the user
to change the encryption algorithm that is most appropriate to the type of information they want to encrypt. The results demonstrate
that the suggested hybrid system of algorithms increases the efficiency of encryption algorithms by securely encrypting data in a
short amount of time. Table 3 shows the factors for algorithm configuration.

A. Analysis and Evaluation of the Hybrid System of Algorithm

1) Analysis And Evaluation Based On Encryption Time And Decryption Time
By assaying RC4 performs faster than DES and AES and a crossbred system of algorithms works multitudinous times fasters than
all of the other algorithms. The creation of keys must be completed right before the encryption of data. This system is done in
collaboration with both the user and the Pall service provider.
In comparison to former encryption algorithms, the crossbred system takes 10 to 15 lower time to reckon a train. Analogous data
security can't be handed with a single encryption Fashion. The reverse of encryption time is known as decryption time, which is the
calculated length of time it takes for the decryption algorithm to complete to produce an original text from a ciphertext. By assaying
decryption time, the crossbred system of algorithms works well from all other algorithms. Figure 8 and figure 9 compare the
encryption and decryption times of data ranging in size from 1 megabyte to 30 megabytes. Pearson correlation values in all couples
are equal to 1 which demonstrates a strong positive relationship. P-A value of lower than0.05 shows the significance of the
relationship and delicacy of data. Figure 8 and figure 9 show the Comparison of Encryption as well as decryption time of AES,
DES, RC4, and Mongrel Algorithms.

2) Analysis And Evaluation Based On Memory Consumption

The amount of memory used during the encryption and decryption processes is referred to as memory utilization. RC4 consumes
less memory than the DES and AES. The hybrid system of algorithms takes less memory consumption as compared to individual
working of these three algorithms at the encryption/decryption time. Pearson correlation values in all pairs are equal to 1
which demonstrates a strong positive relationship. A P-Value of less than 0.05 shows the significance of the relationship
and accuracy of the data. Figure 9 presented the Memory Consumption rate at the time of encryption and the memory consumption
rate at the decryption time shown in figure 10.

Fig. 9. Memory Consumption rate at the time of encryption

Fig. 10. Memory Consumption rate at the time of decryption

3) Analysis and evaluation based on Throughput calculation

At the encryption stage, the file size and the time it takes to complete encryption determine the throughput. This process is carried
out for all file sizes.
Throughput = file size/encryption time …………… (1)
At the decryption stage, overall throughput is estimated by measuring the file size by the time it takes to process decryption and then
repeating the procedure for all file sizes.
Throughput = file size/decryption time………..….. (2)
The hybrid system of algorithms gives a good throughput rate as compared to the individual working of these three algorithms at the
encryption and decryption time. When experiments are carried out at different file sizes such as 1MB, 5 MB, 10 MB, 20 MB, and 30
MB so the three systems AES, DES, and RC4 give less good throughput rate if takes the average of this throughput at encryption
and decryption time on different file sizes as compared to a hybrid system of algorithms. Throughput rate shows
at encryption/decryption time in Figures 11 and 12 respectively.

V. CONCLUSION
As the demand for cloud computing keeps growing, maintaining the integrity of the cloud as well as its users becomes a key
priority. Several security methods may be used in the cloud. So here utilized a cryptography method to ensure the security of
cloud storage. This hybrid method combines the cryptographic algorithms AES, DES, and RC4 to provide fast data security. The
suggested technique is more efficient than existing techniques, according to analysis including its performance. In comparison to
previous techniques, the methodology accomplishes hybrid encryption as well as decryption in a small amount of time. As a result,
the suggested hybrid system of algorithms is beneficial for modern demands. This system creates random AES and DES keys &
encrypts the accepted data file. The RC4 encryption technique is then used to encode the applied AES key. The AES key is
encrypted, and the encrypted data file is concatenated and delivered via the communication medium. The merged file is approved on
the receiver's side. The encrypted AES and DES key files and the encrypted data file are separated in this file. Data is decrypted
using the AES and DES algorithms as well as RC4 keys. The goal of the hybrid algorithm system is to increase the level of security.
Such a method can make it more difficult for the hacker to succeed. The required result for the data on cloud computing was
accomplished by implementing a hybrid system of algorithms in the eclipse IDE tool using the Java language. In the future, various
comparisons with other techniques for cryptography might be utilized to provide findings that demonstrate the efficiency of the
suggested framework. As a result, more research will concentrate on improving encryption as well as decryption times. In addition,
new hybrid algorithms should be built from existing methods to increase the encryption process as well as the level of security for
cloud storage.
