Effective Data Storage Security with Efficient Computing in Cloud

Cloud Computing is well-known resource sharing model uses internet to offer several computing and data storage services. Due to distributed resources and their availability for numerous users, the level of complexity for the resource allocation and security accessing, increases. The paper mainly focuses on meta-heuristic approach for resource allocation and data security using data classification approach. In the proposed framework multi-factor verification is applied to verify the user’s credentials prior to data accessing. Encryption at user side not only ensures the integrity but also confidentiality of data. Here MCS (Modified Cuckoo Search), PSEC (Provably Secure Elliptic Curve) encryption and AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is used for resource scheduling, user side encryption, and cloud side encryption respectively for attaining integrity, confidentiality and also efficient computation ability.
