Bit-Reversal Encryption Towards Secured Storage of Digital Image in Cloud Deployment

Privacy preservation of cloud data is gaining importance since majority of digital records are transferred to cloud-based storage. Familiarization of cloud storage is rapidly growing and people are choosing cloud storage services as suitable alternatives for personal setup. Potential increase in the cloud usage creates a concern for data security. Cloud records demand robust encryption standards. Protection is needed both from external hackers and internal intruders. This article reports a bit-reversal encryption mechanism for privacy preservation of digital image data deployed on cloud. This encryption mechanism deals with different types of digital images toward secure storage in cloud infrastructure. Experimental results show that the method is quite simple and easy to implement to preserve the privacy and security of user data either off premises or on premises cloud storage.
