SECURE MULTIMEDIA DATA STORAGE IN CLOUD COMPUTING

Data is the most significant entity to every being. It is the sole ingredient of human and non – human communication in all forms, be it electronic, digital, verbal or written. And because of its importance, we adopt stringent measures to secure the storage of data and ensure its authorized access at different levels so that its usability and integrity are maintained. Security of any data deals both with its storage and retrieval. We may apply robust cryptographic algorithms in order to encode the data and/or implement several authentication checks to verify the genuineness of user attempting to access it. Here we develop an application that enables the users to exchange classified multimedia content, securely from any geographical coordinate. We aspire to apply security at all levels, in order to shield the data, right from the point of its creation to delivery. Our intention is to be different from the existent applications under this domain, in the form of latest technology, ease-of-use and scalability. In this paper we propose to provide convenience to the user through simple, understandable yet secure communication interfaces. Our goal is to shield date at all checkpoints through which it travels i.e. Sender Device Device  Network  Cloud  Recipient Device. In this world of advanced communication, people prefer mechanisms through which data can be saved or retrieved quickly, easily and securely from any geographical coordinate. To facilitate this objective, smart phones and mobile cloud computing play an integral role. They fortify the user to use techniques for smart storage and retrieval of data using infrastructure, platform and software as a service being provided by 3rd party. Here we shall make use of the newest technologies, i.e. Android and Cloud Computing.
