Abstract

The field of data management has been reformed by the Cloud computing technologies which offered valuable establishments and amended the storage restrictions barriers for its users. In large enterprises the cloud has been extensively used for implementation due to its benefits. There are still lot of security threats for the data in the cloud. The data owners suffer from its privacy issues which are considered as one of the major concerns. Data privacy can be secured by employing some of the existing methods such as Attribute-based Encryption (ABE). Yet, the security issues are prevailing largely over the cloud. In this research a secured data access control is proposed using the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) combined with a weighted attribute-based Encryption (AES-WABE). To encrypt the data, the access control policies are used and weight is assigned according to its significance of each attribute. The outsourced data is stored by the cloud service provider and the attribute authority based on the weight that updates the attributes. To minimize the computational overload the data file is accessed by the receiver corresponding to its weight. The proposed procedure provides resistance for collusion, multiple user security with control of fine-grained access based on protection, reliability and efficiency. On concerning the data collaboration and confidentiality, the performance rating is done related with the Cipher-text Policy–Attribute-based Encryption (CP-ABE) and the hybrid attribute-based encryption (HABE) scheme, access control flexibility, limited decryption, full delegation, verification and partial signing.

Keywords: Cloud Security, Access Control, Attribute-Based Encryption, Advanced Standard Encryption, Encryption of Data, Privacy Cloud Computing.
