Dual Access Control for Data Storage and Sharing In the Cloud

Abstract

In recent years, both academia and business have become increasingly interested in cloudbased
data storage services due to their effective and inexpensive management. Due to the
fact that it provides services over an open network, it is imperative for service providers to
utilise a secure data storage and sharing method to protect data confidentiality and the privacy
of service users. Encryption is the most used way for protecting sensitive data from being
hacked. However, merely encrypting data (e.g., with AES) is insufficient to meet the real
requirements of data management. In addition, an effective access control over download
requests must be addressed to prevent Economic Denial of Sustainability (EDoS) assaults
from preventing users from enjoying the service. In this research, we examine the dual access
control in the context of cloud-based storage by designing a control mechanism for both data
access and download request without sacrificing security or efficiency. In this study, two dual
access control systems are created, each for a different planned environment. In addition, the
security and experimental examination of the systems is provided.
