Efficient time-oriented latency-based secure data encryption for cloud storage

Abstract

To ensure data security in the cloud, there exist several techniques proposed by various researchers. The most common method is the usage of data encryption techniques like profile, rule, and attribute-based encryption techniques. However, they struggle in achieving higher data security performance due to insufficient resistance to tampering. Also, the existing techniques are not good enough for achieving a higher quality of service performance. To handle this issue, an efficient time-oriented latency approximation-based data encryption technique (TLADE) has been presented in this article. The method focuses on the selection of optimal encryption techniques at different time stamps according to the latency approximation. Accordingly, the method would select an optimal technique for data encryption based on the QoS values. To perform this, different encryption schemes have been implemented and each of them is measured for their QoS support values (QoSV) based on latency. Based on the values of QoSV, an efficient approach for the current duty cycle has been selected and applied to the cloud service data. The proposed approach improves the performance of different QoS factors and also has reduced the latency factor.
