Data Security in Cloud Computing Using Homomorphic encryption

Abstract

Cloud computing is an emerging paradigm which has become today's hottest research area due to its abil- ity to reduce the costs associated with computing. In today's era, it is most interesting and enticing technology which is offering the services to its users on demand over the internet. Since Cloud Computing stores the data and disseminated re- sources in the open environment, security has become the main obstacle which is hampering the deployment of Cloud environments. Even though the Cloud Computing is promising and efficient, there are many challenges for data security as there is no vicinity of the data for the Cloud user. To ensure the security of data, we proposed a method by implementing homomorphic encryption. Security issues and issues regarding homomorphic algorithm is also introduced.
