Abstract

In the emerging computing paradigm known as cloud computing, there are significant issues that need to be addressed in order for cloud computing to be adopted as universally as the Internet. The development of cloud computing services is speeding up the rate in which the organizations outsource their computational services or sell their idle computational resources. Even though migrating to the cloud remains a tempting trend from a financial perspective, there are several other aspects that must be taken into account by Companies before they decide to do so. One of the most important aspects refers to security. The proposed methodology provides two levels of security mechanisms for securing a cloud networks. The integrity and confidentiality of the data uploaded by the user is ensured by authentication and encryption of the files to be uploaded on the cloud or fetch by the cloud.
