Data Alteration: A Better Approach to Securing Cloud Data with Encryption
Year: 2017
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: With the emergence of new technologies and the ubiquitous connecti-vity, large amounts of data are being generated everyday with the need to be stored properly and explored rapidly. In this context, the cloud computing services have been adopted to face these rising challenges. But in a cloud environment, data and the application are controlled by the service provider and the customer does not always have the possibility to increase the security level imposed. This leads users to apply encryption mechanisms before storing their data in the cloud. In this paper we propose a new approach that combines the strengths of both steganography and cryptography called Data Alteration. The technique aims to hide the data by modifying it completely as it remains readable, meaningful and therefore shows no suspicions to malicious cloud providers and pirates. The proposed appoach was implemented in Java and tested on realistic datasets in a multi agent systems based architecture.
