Privacy protected documents on openstack cloud

Cloud computing has become an extremely attractive area of research and practice over the last few years. However, there are many concerns over privacy of shared documents while adopting and using public cloud solutions. Private cloud solution is useful for organizations to implement their own privacy policies. Through this paper we propose a method to upload privacy preserving application on private cloud and later privacy protected documents can be publish in public cloud by using a hybrid cloud approach. This is a suitable solution for organizations those who want to share their valuable documents to outside world for data mining and research purpose. Applications running on virtual cloud environment are accessible to more users than a non cloud application. In this paper we discuss about various aspects in designing and setting up a private cloud infrastructure in academic as well as scientific environments by means of the open source software known as OpenStack and analyzing performance of applications on installed cloud infrastructure.
