Chapter 2 - Introduction

This document introduces a project to create an encrypted and secured file storage system for transferring files between remote users. The system will encrypt files using algorithms like RSA and AES when they are uploaded, and only allow downloading and decrypting of files by authorized users. It also discusses cloud computing and the need to encrypt files in the cloud to address security and privacy issues, with the goal of presenting a hybrid encryption model for secure file storage on the cloud.

2.1 About the organization

The aim of the project is to create an encrypted and secured file storage system
to transfer files within users in a remote location. This system will require an
input that is successfully encrypted using any of the algorithm techniques and
store them anywhere. The uploaded file can be downloaded by other users, but
to read the data present in it, they have to decrypt the file using the decryption
algorithm and the information provided about the file within the users by the
owner. The system uses public-key cryptographic techniques like RSA and
Symmetric key cryptography like AES. Hashing techniques like static hashing
and dynamic hashing are used for performing integrity. Due to the encryption
of data, confidentiality is also achieved in the process. The project is also open
to new challenges and future changes to other advanced technologies in
keeping the data secured.

2.2 About the Project

Cloud computing is originated from earlier large-scale distributed computing


technology. NIST defines cloud computing as a model for enabling convenient
on demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing
resources
( like network, storage, application and services) that can be quickly
provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider
interaction. In Cloud computing files and software are not fully contained on
the user’s application and Program are residing in provider premises. The cloud

provider can solve this problem by encryption the files by using encryption
algorithm. This paper presents a file security model to provide an efficient
solution for the basic problem of security in cloud environment. In this model,
hybrid encryption is used where files are encrypted by file splitting and RSA is
used for the secured communication between users and the servers.
