A cryptographic mechanism using prime number and character stuffing to prevent hijacking of cloud data

Abstract

Cloud computing is emerging trend with scalable space availability feature for both public and private domain. Currently, cloud security becomes challenging task to accomplish objectives of all security requirements. These issues attracts the attention of researchers because this area more scope of research and prevent the private and important information of peoples and organizations and to minimize cyber fraud even cyber crime as well as traffic hijacking. In this paper we proposed a cryptographic approach named RSA with character stuffing (RSA-CS) using prime numbers also. RSA algorithm is modified for better outcomes in perspectives of cloud environment and comparing existing stuffing approach, used for network security. The proposed mechanism helps to provide better security of cloud data and prevent hijacking as well as unauthenticated access. The implementation of proposed mechanism has been done using Eclipse IDE software. The results show better performance of proposed modified RSA with character stuffing using prime numbers than existing mechanism.
