Enhancing the security for information with virtual data centers in cloud

Abstract

Cloud computing is a paradigm where tasks are assigned to a combination of connections, software and services accessed over a network. Clouds provide processing power, which is made possible through distributed computing .In the Cloud Technology most organizations have own challenges when it comes to handle both critical and confidential information. The major challenge in cloud technology is how effectively the information is uploaded to the virtual data centers to ensure the privacy. To enhance the privacy the available existing cryptography techniques are symmetric and asymmetric in nature. We are focusing on enhancing the privacy when the information is uploaded with virtual data centers. In this context, our study is mainly focusing on encrypting the information before uploading with virtual data centers; we propose to implement using DES(Data Encryption Standards), as it is proved the best encryption performance results in terms of computing time. © 2012 Springer-Verlag GmbH.
