NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY KARNATAKA, SURATHKAL DEPARTMENT OF COMPUTER SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING Title: Secure Data Access in Cloud Computing Author: Sunil Sanka, Chittaranjan Hota, Muttukrishnan Rajarajan, Computer Science and Information Systems Group, Birla Institute of Technology and Science-Pilani Published in IEEE Explore,2010 Student details: 11CO19 Asmita Gupta guptaasmita.ag@gmail.com 11CO35 Gaurangi Saxena saxenagaurangi94@gmail.com Abstract Cloud computing [1][2] is an evolving computing paradigm in which resources of the computing infrastructure are provided as services over the Internet. However this paradigm poses many new challenges for data security and access control. Users outsource data for sharing on cloud servers. This data may not be within the same trusted domain as data owners and hence is susceptible to various malicious attacks. One of the most challenging ongoing issues in cloud computing are data security [3]and access control due to which most of the ongoing research is dedicated to mitigating these challenges. To ensure the confidentiality of sensitive user data against untrusted servers, existing work try to use cryptographic techniques like disclosing data decryption keys only to authorized users. However these solutions inexorably introduce heavy computation overhead on the data owner for key distribution and data management when fine-grained data access control is desired, and thus do not scale
