CLOUD STORAGE FOR PRIVACY PRESERVING USING DENIABLE ENCRYPTION

Abstract

Cloud storage services have become very popular. Because of the cloud service providers maintains the users data privacy, different types of cloud storage are made available by companies like Google, Apple, Microsoft, etc. helping users with storing important files and documents securely on the internet. All such schemes assumed that cloud storage providers are safe and cannot be hacked; however, in practice, some outside authorities may demand cloud storage providers to reveal user secrets or confidential data on the cloud, thus altogether to avoid that unauthorized access a storage encryption scheme enabled. In this paper, I present a design for a new cloud storage encryption scheme that enables cloud storage providers to create convincing fake user secrets to protect user privacy. Since coercers cannot tell if obtained secrets are true or not, the cloud storage providers ensure that user privacy is still securely protected.
