Secure Cloud Storage Techniques: A Review

Cloud technology has exponentially seen a rise in its absorption for various applications. Cloud users with limited storage might transfer their information to remote systems. In return for monetary compensation, these servers provide access to their clients’ data. Cloud storage protocols verify the integrity of this data which is hosted on the cloud. Broadly there are two types of data – static and dynamic. While many efficient protocols are already present for static data, much research is being undertaken to build a secure cloud storage system for dynamic data. This paper analyzes these existing and proposed cloud storage protocols for both static and dynamic data. Important performance parameters are identified and a comparison is drawn between the chosen methods in order to draw a contrast between the efficiency of the techniques chosen.
