CRYPTOGRAPHY IN CLOUD COMPUTING Company name WHAT IS CLOUD CRYPTOGRAPHY? • Cryptography in cloud computing is the encryption of data stored in a cloud service. • Encryption is the process of altering data to look like something else until an authorized user logs in and views the “plaintext” (that is, true) version of the data. • Cryptographic keys are used to encrypt plaintext into a random string of characters known as cipher text. • Cloud encryption is wise because it secures your data after the information leaves your corporate IT structure. This means that no matter where it travels within your cloud computing services, the data remains secure. CONTENT • Introduction of Cryptography • Types of Cloud Cryptography
