A client-based encryption model for secure data storing in publicly available storage systems

Abstract

This document presents a conceptual model of a system for protecting thedata stored in publicly available data storage systems. The main idea was toapply encryption on both the client and server sides that would consequentlyhave a significant impact on data security. The compatibility with existingsystems allows us to deploy the solution fast and at a low cost. The testsconducted on a simplified implementation have confirmed the solution’s validity,and they have shown some possible performance issues as compared to theclassical system (which can be easily bypassed).
