Abstract--Cloud secure storage mechanism of data encryption and dispersion is a technique used to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data stored in the cloud. In this mechanism, data is encrypted using a strong encryption algorithm before it is stored in the cloud. The encryption key is then dispersed into several parts using a secret sharing scheme and these parts are distributed to different servers in the cloud. As a result, even if one of the servers is compromised, an attacker cannot access the encryption key or the original data. To retrieve the data, the dispersed parts of the encryption key are reassembled using the secret sharing scheme, and then the encrypted data is decrypted. This mechanism provides a high level of security for data stored in the cloud, even in the event of a security breach.
1)Cloud secure storage mechanism refers to a method of storing data in a cloud-based system that ensures the security and privacy of the data.
2)The mechanism involves two key components - encryption and dispersion - which work together to protect data from unauthorized access.
3)Encryption is the process of converting plain text data into a coded form, which can only be read by authorized parties with the decryption key.
4)Dispersion involves splitting the encrypted data into multiple fragments and storing them in different locations to prevent a single point of failure.
5)The dispersion process can be done through various methods such as secret sharing, erasure coding, or geographic dispersal.
