SECURE KEYWORD SEARCH AND DATA SHARING MECHANISM FOR CLOUD COMPUTING

Abstract

The "Secure Keyword Search and Data Sharing Mechanism for Cloud Computing" project presents an innovative solution to address the pressing concerns of privacy and security in cloud environments. In the era of ubiquitous data storage and sharing, the proposed mechanism introduces a robust framework that enables users to securely search for specific keywords within their data while ensuring the confidentiality of sensitive information. Leveraging advanced encryption techniques and access control mechanisms, the project establishes a secure enclave within the cloud where users can conduct keyword searches without compromising the privacy of their stored data. Furthermore, the mechanism facilitates controlled data sharing, allowing users to selectively share encrypted data with authorized entities. The project contributes to enhancing the security posture of cloud computing, providing a practical and efficient solution for users to retain control over their data while leveraging the benefits of cloud storage and search functionalities.
