Comparative Analysis of PAVD Security System with Security Mechanism of Different Cloud Storage Services

Cloud Computing, being in its infancy in the field of research has attracted lots of research communities in last few years. Lot of investment is made in cloud based research by MNCs like Amazon, IBM and different R & D organizations. Inspite of these the number of stakeholders actually using cloud services is limited. The main hindrance to the wide adoption of cloud Technology is feeling of insecurity regarding storage of data in cloud, absence of reliance and comprehensive access control mechanism. To overcome it, cloud service providers have employed different security mechanism to protect confidentiality and integrity of data in cloud. We have used PAVD security system to protect confidentiality and integrity of data stored in cloud. PAVD is an acronym for Privacy, Authentication and Verification of data. We have statistically analyzed the performance of PAVD security system over different sizes of data files. This paper aimed at comparing the performance of different cloud storage services like Drop box, sky drive etc with our PAVD security system with respect to uploading and downloading time.
