Client-Level Monitoring Approach to Secure Data in a Cloud Environment

Cloud computing imparts huge storage at low cost, because the internet is so widely used around the world, massive amounts of data are stored on local devices and integrated and stored on a common platform for easy access, sharing, and, high availability. The cloud environment provides a convenient way for normal users and enterprises to migrate their apps, data, and storage to the cloud-based server for storage due to the high availability of its services and the flexibility of computing processes. Securing information is the primary challenge in cloud computing. Securing the data from unauthorized modification and access is one of the key challenges of the cloud environment. In order to secure user data, different security algorithms were adapted. This paper provides a client-level monitoring approach to secure data in a cloud environment. The monitoring approach consists of the user or client system, monitor, and cloud storage. The user uploads the encrypted form of documents onto the cloud storage and the cloud storage stores the encrypted form of user documents, and the monitor periodically monitors or the user directs the monitor to check the integrity of user data.
