Encrypting means the process of converting information or data into unreadable language to prevent unauthorized access. This paper will propose a mobile application design, which will allow the user to encrypt and decrypt the data hence maintaining security and privacy. In the proposed system design, the AES Algorithm will handle the encryption of the data using a keyword which will be defined by the user during the creation of the account. The encryption keyword will be hashed by the system using MD5 Algorithm. The keys will remain in encrypted form, while they are on the server side. Both encrypted data, encryption and decryption keys will be saved on the server in secured form. The idea behind hashing the encryption keys is to protect the keys while they are stored on the server, therefore, any u...

The problem occurs when companies store highly confidential documents in cloud servers. Therefore, this paper aims to introduce a backbone structure for a cloud storage system where the security and personal privacy is highly maximized. It is very obvious that cloud computing servers are highly protected against unauthorized access, but in some cases these files stored can be accessible by the maintenance staffs. Fully protection is needed to ensure that the files stored in the server are only accessible to owners. This paper proposes a system that will employ Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA) and Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) combination encryption process using USB device. The files may be accessed in the cloud but all the files will remain encrypted till the USB device is plugged into the computer. The point of applying such method is to fully protect the files a...
