ABSTRACT

Nowadays cloud is been widely used all over the world. Cloud computing creates a virtual space on Internet, on which the user can store the data. Through cloud you can store huge amount of data virtually, rather than storing it on any physical system which will acquire space. One question comes here , “How secure is the data on cloud?”, “Will it be accessed by any third-party?”. Cloud computing has given solution to all these question and problems by providing  “Cloud Cryptography” mechanism. Cloud cryptography adds a high layer of security to data and prevents it from any type of hacking or any third-party by encrypting the data on cloud. Currently Cloud cryptography uses different methods to secure the data. This research will discuss different methods which are used by cloud cryptography. How effective are these methods in securing the data stored on cloud. What is the future of cloud cryptography?, Will any other technology overlaps cloud cryptography? these all questions will be discussed in this paper.
