Replication and automatic updates of file fragments in cloud

Abstract

Generally, in cloud computing the data is outsourced to controls of third party, which may lead to issue of securitys. The data in cloud may lost because of attacks by unknown users and nodes inside the cloud. Therefore, the data within in the cloud must be kept in secured state by using different techniques. In this paper, we propose division and replication of data within in the cloud to improve optimal performance and security. In the present work we separate a file into multiple fragment sand replicate fragments on different nodes in the cloud. Each node, should store fragment only once. Therefore, no information can be get by the attacker. The node storing the fragments within the cloud are separated using a method called T-colouring, which avoids the attacker to find the location of nodes that contain related fragments. The traditional cryptographic techniques for data security are not used in this work, so that computationally expensive methodologies are reduced. The more advanced feature in this work is an automatic update of file fragments on nodes whenever any changes are done by the third person on that particular node.
