Enhancing Data Security in Cloud Computing: Innovative Approaches and Protection Measures

Ensuring data security in cloud computing is of utmost importance, and this research paper explores novel approaches and specialized techniques to achieve this objective. The primary focus is on safeguarding data throughout its journey from the owner to the cloud and ultimately to the user. The paper introduces a categorization framework based on three encryption parameters: Integrity, Availability, and Confidentiality (IAC). To maintain data integrity, various security measures such as SSL and MAC protocols are employed, enabling data integrity checks, searchable encryption, and data fragmentation for secure cloud storage. Access to encrypted data is granted only upon providing the owner's login information and password. The research also investigates critical security concerns, including unauthorized servers, brute force attacks, threats from cloud service providers, and the potential risks associated with user identity and password loss. By addressing these challenges, this study contributes to enhancing data security in cloud computing environments, ensuring the confidentiality and integrity of user data.
