Model of secure data storage in the cloud for mobile devices

Abstract

Storing data in the cloud environment becomes more and more popular for users and also for entrepreneurs. It offers high scalability, efficiency and good price. However, it’s not always secure, even if providers ensures about high security of their service. “Arms race” never stops, attackers have sophisticated tools and often specialized knowledge. Combination of these two may result in danger for data stored in clouds. Furthermore, by uploading data on cloud, we’re giving away control about them. Rapid technological progress and popularity of mobile devices results with users increasing awareness about threats. On the other hand, there’s not as many solutions for mobile devices as for desktop devices. Also their quality is not always very high. Proposed model reduces the role of “third-parties”, offering much more control for user, the owner of stored data.
