The hybrid encryption algorithm of lightweight data in cloud storage

In this paper, we proposed a hybrid encryption algorithm in order to solve the security problems on lightweight data on the cloud storage service. This paper first improves the RSA algorithm in the cloud environment by increasing the length of the RSA key to an extent that it can quickly generate big primes. Then, we merge AES and RSA algorithms on the basis of the improved RSA algorithm. This is called a hybrid encryption algorithm which is suitable for security of the lightweight data in cloud storage environment in order to further enhance the confidentiality of data in the cloud. The experimental result shows that the hybrid encryption algorithm has advantages of fast encryption and decryption, more secure, and it is also able to settle the security problems of users' lightweight data in a certain extent.
