Analyzing the Behavior of Symmetric Algorithms Usage in Securing and Storing Data in Cloud

It has been found that the Cloud computing facilities have been used by users of various categories to meet their flexible computing needs which include Processing Powers, Storages, Servers, etc., and among these needs, Public Cloud storage has been used for storing huge data files of different formats and different sizes in Cloud. Because of data security concerns in Cloud, symmetric algorithms have been preferred for encryption and decryption of these data files. Because of limited Internet speed, we must have provision to identify fast and efficient symmetric algorithms for Cloud storages. In the literature survey, we have not found any framework to investigate the efficiency of symmetric algorithms in securing and storing data in Cloud based on various parameters like Encryption Time, Decryption Time, and Throughput, etc.
