Erasure Code Based Cloud Storage System

Abstract

Cloud Computing is the technology that provides on demand services and resources like storage space, networks, programming language execution environment on the top of Internet pay per use model. Cloud computing is globalized concept and there are no borders within the Cloud. Because of attractive features of Cloud computing, many organizations are using Cloud storage for storing their critical information. The data can be stored remotely in the Cloud by user and can be accessed using thin clients as and when required. One of the major issue in Cloud today is data security. Storage of data in the Cloud can be risky because storage is done on Cloud service providers� servers which mean less control over the stored data. One of the major concern in Cloud is how do we grab all the benefits of Cloud while maintaining security controls over the data. In this paper reliable storage system is proposed which can be robust in case of errors or erasures in data to be stored. Proposed system provides reliable storage while maintaining the integrity of the data. The files are split into parts to get an extra layer of security.
