 ABSTRACT

Cloud computing is now days emerging field because of its performance, high availability, low cost. In the
cloud many services are provided to the client by cloud. Data store is main future that cloud service provides
to the companies to store huge amount of storage capacity. But still many companies or workstations are not
ready to implement cloud computing technology due to lack of proper security control policy and weakness
in protection which lead to many challenge in cloud computing. The primary objective of designing this data
center or data storage is to learn the importance of accessing our data from anywhere around the world,
create a secured & easy to handle storage for a small number of users, to prevent Data access from
unauthorized access, and also performs some of the tasks like data updating, deleting, appending.

Keyword: Cloud computing, Authentication.

1.1 Problem Definition

Traditional storage platforms such as hard disks or other kinds of physical storage devices
have long lost their sheen. The days when these physical storage devices ruled the technology
world is long gone and people are shifting towards the more advanced and attractive technical
option of cloud for storing their files and data.

Cloud storage becomes an increasing attraction in cloud computing paradigm, which enables
users to store their data and access them wherever and whenever they need using any device
in a pay-as-you-go manner .

From the perspective of data security, which has always an important aspect of quality of
service, Cloud computing and data storage inevitably poses new challenging security threats.
The data stored in the cloud may be frequently updated by the users including insertion,
deletion, modification, appending, reordering,etc.

languages and markup languages, and functions can be added by users with

1
 plugins, typically community-built and maintained under free-software
licenses.

1.4 Technology Used

1.4.1 For Web-based application
1.4.1.1 HTML5- HTML5 is a new version of the language HTML, with new
elements, attributes, and behaviors, and a larger set of technologies that allows
the building of more diverse and powerful Web sites and applications. It
extends, improves and rationalizes the markup available for documents, and
introduces markup and application programming interfaces (APIs) for complex
web applications.

1.4.1.2 CSS3- CSS3 is the latest evolution of the Cascading Style Sheets
language. It brings a lot of long-awaited novelties, like rounded corners,
shadows, gradients, transitions or animations, as well as new layouts like multi-
columns, flexible box or grid layout.

1.4.1.3 JavaScript- JavaScript runs on the client side of the web, which can be
used to design / program how the web pages behave on the occurrence of an
event.

1.4.1.4 PHP- PHP is a server-side scripting language designed specifically for

web development. PHP can be easily embedded in HTML files and HTML
codes can also be written in a PHP file.

readable and machine-readable. The design goals of XML focus on simplicity,
generality and usability across the Internet. It is a textual data format with
strong support via Unicode for different human language.

1.4.2.2 Java- Java is used in a wide variety of computing platforms from

embedded devices and mobile phones to enterprise servers and
supercomputers. Java applets, which are less common than standalone Java
applications, were commonly run in secure, sandboxed environments to
provide many features of native applications through being embedded in
HTML pages.

 2. LITERATURE SURVEY

2.1 Existing System

2.1.1 Google Drive- This is a „pure‟ cloud computing service, with all the apps and storage
found online. It is a file storage and synchronization service developed by Google. It
allows users to store files on their servers, synchronize files across devices, and share
files. You can use it via desktop top computers, tablets like the iPad or on
smartphones. All of Google's services could be considered cloud computing really:
Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Reader, Google Voice, and so on. Microsoft‟s
OneDrive is very similar to Google Drive and offers much the same services. [2]

2.1.2 Dropbox- Dropbox Commonly used by boys and staff to store their documents and
images. You might set your phone to automatically send all pictures you take with it
into your Dropbox account, so that even if you lose your phone, the pictures will still
be available to you up in space; you might use it to access your documents at home,
and then save changes to it.[2]

2.1.3 Amazon Cloud Drive Storage at the big retailer is mainly for music – and they would
certainly prefer it is music that you have bought from them.[2]

Common Features:-
 Both are third party services.
 They offer a basic amount of free storage: –
 Dropbox: 5 GB
 Google Drive (linked to Gmail account): 15 GB

• After that, the user has to pay a yearly or monthly subscription fee. E.g. Google Drive: 100
GB - $4.99/month; 200 GB - $9.99/month

2.2 Survey
2.2.1 Research Paper- An Approach for Data Storage Security in Cloud Computing
written by Deepanchakaravarthi Purushothaman and Dr.Sunitha Abburu.
Published in IJCSI, Vol.9, Issue 2, No. 1 [1]

Cloud computing is the most demanding and emerging technology throughout the
world. Cloud computing is an Internet based computer technology. The major
thing that a computer does is to store in the available space and retrieve
information whenever requested by the authenticated user. It also allows
developer to access the highly scalable, reliable, secure, fast, inexpensive,

3
 infrastructure that Amazon uses to run its own global network of web sites. From
the viewpoint of data security, which has always been an important aspect of
quality of service, Cloud Computing unavoidably poses new challenging security
threats for number of reasons.
 Unauthenticated person don‟t attack the
authorized file
 Avoids Collusion attacks
 Malicious data modification attack
 Dynamic data operations

2.3 Proposed System- Cloud Box

Features:-

 User Interface
 Simple User Interface to use
 Easy storing, retrieval and updating of data

 Data Security
 Data will be secured as data is stored directly in database as BLOB
datatype.

 File Types
 All types of data files can be stored
 Different file types will have different tags for proper segregation.

 Navigation
 It offer a directory structure; this facilitates navigation and organization
easily

 Sharing
 File Sharing through WhatsApp

 File versioning
 Files versioning is maintained for every single file stored in the cloud for a
period of 30 days. Users could track the changes performed on the file and
also can find the date and time at which the change was performed.

 5. CONCLUSION & FUTURE ENHANCEMENTS

This project report briefly explained the problems of data security in cloud data storage and also
provided a way out to ensure user correctness. We believe that data storage security in Cloud
Computing, an area of challenges and of dominant significance, is still in its infancy to be
identified. We envision several possible directions for future research on this area. It allows
Third Parity Auditor to audit the cloud data storage without demanding users‟ time, probability.

 We have successfully designed a cloud based storage software – CloudBox.

 We can have access to our stored data at any time, at any place with Internet Access.

 CloudBox is currently in testing phase (Unit testing done, Module testing done,
Integration testing done) where only a limited number of users can have access.

In this report we proposed a key generator method for security proof to avoid hacking in cloud
infrastructure. The key generated by service provider regarding user queries will send to their
respective registered login id. In the existing ones the key will be displayed to the user and hence
there is a chance for hacking user details. To avoid such circumstances, the user must get their
details with their respective key generated by the service provider.
