Framework For Secure Cloud Data Communication

Abstract Cloud computing is an emerging technology where all the computing resources are shared on the cloud rather than having local servers or personal devices to handle applications. Encrypting data residing on the cloud database is required to prevent unauthorized access of confidential and critical information and the subsequent modification of the information for personal benefit. As all the organizational information resides on the computers security of this data is of utmost importance. Shamirs secret sharing algorithm is one successful way of encrypting the data. In this research paper we have developed a new encrypting algorithm based on symmetric key cryptography. We have used logical operations like XOR and zero padding. The Shamirs secret sharing algorithm would act on the key generated by our proposed encryption algorithm. This algorithm is an efficient and a simple strategy for secure communication in cloud computing.
