Secure storage and sharing of visitor images generated by smart entrance on public cloud

Abstract

Visitor validation at entrance generates a large number of image files that need to be transmitted over to cloud for future reference. The image data needs to be protected by active and passive adversaries from performing cryptographic attacks on these data. The image data also needs to be authenticated before giving it for future use. Focusing on reliable and secure image sharing, the proposed method involves building a novel cloud platform, which aims to provide a secure storage in the public cloud. The main objective of this paper is to provide a new way of secure image data storage and transmission on cloud using cryptographic algorithms. To overcome the flaws in current system, a novel method using BigchainDB, which has advantages of blockchain technology and traditional database, is proposed for storing attributes of image.
