Distributed / Cloud Computing

Preamble

Currently, there has been an increasing trend in outsourcing data to remote cloud, where the people outsource their data at Cloud Service Provider(CSP) who offers huge storage space with low cost. Thus users can reduce the maintenance and burden of local data storage. Meanwhile, once data goes into cloud they lose control of their data, which inevitably brings new security risks toward integrity and confidentiality. Hence, efficient and effective methods are needed to ensure the data integrity and confidentiality of outsource data on untrusted cloud servers. In this project , we will propose efficient and secure protocols to address these issues.

Objective

Design and implement security solutions to solve the problems described above.
