Secured Sharing of Data in Cloud via Dual Authentication, Dynamic Unidirectional PRE, and CPABE

Abstract

Cloud computing is an emergent computing paradigm; however, data security is a significant issue in recent time while outsourcing the data to the cloud preventing users to upload their data on cloud. The data forwarded to cloud can be protected using some cryptographic techniques based on identity, attributes, and prediction. But these algorithms lack their performance when a revoked user collude with cloud; therefore, it becomes essential to develop a secure data sharing framework with some enhanced cryptographic techniques. The proposed methodology presented a secure privacy preserving data sharing with encryption technique called dynamic unidirectional proxy re-encryption (PRE) with cipher text policy attribute-based encryption. The technique ensures the privacy, integrity, and security of the data while retrieving through the cloud. The framework is implemented in the cloud sim with java language. Experimental results proved that proposed frame work attains reasonable results compared to traditional methods.
