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 the data stored in publicly available data storage systems. The main idea was to apply encryption on both the client and server sides that would consequently have a significant impact on data security. The compatibility with existing systems allows us to deploy the solution fast and at a low cost. The tests conducted on a simplified implementation have confirmed the solution’s validity, and they have shown some possible performance issues as compared to the classical system (which can be easily bypassed).
