GLObfus: An Innovative Method of Data Obfuscation to Protect Numerical Data in Public Cloud Storage | Chapter 4 | Mathematics and Computer Science: Contemporary Developments Vol. 4

Cloud computing has modified computing services with global convenience and accessibility. Many users undervalue the security risks associated with cloud data despite its integration into daily life. Data breaches can occur without user awareness, emphasizing the need for robust security measures. Cloud servers globally manage vast data volumes in real-time, posing ongoing security challenges. Protecting data from unauthorized access is of great necessity in cloud computing research. Numerical data security in the cloud can be enhanced by using GLObfus, an innovative method of data obfuscation. GLObfus transforms data into an unintelligible format using advanced mathematical calculations. Through this obfuscation method and different types of keys, GLObfus ensures that sensitive numerical data, such as student's marks and financial details, are rendered in an unintelligible format. This approach mitigates the risks of data exposure and unauthorized access by obscuring data before it is stored in the cloud. Operational efficiency and data security are significantly enhanced by GLObfus, which operates as a cloud utility within a Platform-as-a-service (PaaS) framework. Evaluations have demonstrated that GLObfus surpasses existing obfuscation techniques in terms of reusing time and increasing security measures. This makes it particularly well-suited for organizations that give priority to robust data protection in cloud environments, thereby establishing new security standards in the digital era.

Different Challenges in Energy- Efficient Cloud Security: A Brief Review | Chapter 09 | Research Developments in Science and Technology Vol. 6

 Cloud computing is the most popular research topic nowadays because of its capacity to lower processing costs while increasing scalability and flexibility for computer services. Cloud computing is internet-based computing that shares resources and delivers data to apps to provide users with on-demand services. Cloud computing is one of the fastest-growing IT fields in the business sector. The security of cloud computing has become a key roadblock to its expansion. Cloud computing security is a set of rules, processes, controls, roles, permissions, and technology that all work together to keep cloud-based systems and data safe. Cloud computing security has become a hot subject in academia and industry because cloud users must keep their data safe in the cloud. Users may lose trust in the cloud due to a lack of security. A review of cloud computing security is the subject of this research. All tiers of SaaS (Software as a Service), PaaS (Platform as a Service), and IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service), as well as deployment strategies, are included in the study (Private, Public, Hybrid, and Community Cloud). The major goal of this research is to investigate and comprehend existing genetic algorithms and two-factor authentication in the context of cloud computing security, as well as to identify gaps through a literature review.
