dc.description.abstract | Storage as Service (STaaS) is the main feature
that gives the popularity for cloud storage, which provides
the use of the maximum capacity with minimum hardware
requirements. Data security has become the major aspect
that limits the spread of this service due to the cyberattacks.
Google drive is the trending and widely used
cloud-based storage service with millions of active users
where they can store and access data without charges. The
project presented from this paper is a desktop application
that can encrypt data, before storing on Google drive. The
main focus of the project is to facilitate the users by
converting data to a ciphertext format using encryption
algorithms. Therefore, the issues in Privacy of data,
Confidentiality of data, Data Permanence, Data Integrity,
and Malicious insiders can be solved by using this
application for storing data on Google drive. The interfaces
of the system are designed adding simplicity and userfriendliness,
targeting the public users with different levels
of computer knowledge | |
