An approach for securing data on Cloud using data slicing and cryptography

Cloud computing is one of the major point of discussion in IT industries. The Cloud provides service to the user on demand basis. The trend of using cloud environments is growing for storage and data processing needs. Data security is one of the major issues in cloud environment. The data owner has not control over the data after it is uploaded on cloud. For data security we have to trust on security mechanism provided by third party. We proposed a scheme in this the original data get sliced into different slices. The data in each slice can be encrypted by using different cryptographic algorithms and encryption key before storing them in the Cloud. The objective of this technique is to store data in a proper secure and safe manner in order to avoid intrusions and data attacks meanwhile it will reduce the cost and time to store the encrypted data in the Cloud Storage.
