A SECURE METHOD FOR MANAGING DATA IN CLOUD STORAGE USING DEDUPLICATION AND ENHANCED FUZZY BASED INTRUSION DETECTION FRAMEWORK

Abstract

Cloud services increase data availability so as to offer flawless service to the client. Because of increasing data availability, more redundancies and more memory space are required to store such data. Cloud computing requires essential storage and efficient protection for all types of data. With the amount of data produced seeing an exponential increase with time, storing the replicated data contents is inevitable. Hence, using storage optimization approaches becomes an important pre-requisite for enormous storage domains like cloud storage. Data deduplication is the technique which compresses the data by eliminating the replicated copies of similar data and it is widely utilized in cloud storage to conserve bandwidth and minimize the storage space. Despite the data deduplication eliminates data redundancy and data replication, it likewise presents significant data privacy and security problems for
the end-user. Considering this, in this work, a novel security-based deduplication model is proposed to reduce a hash value of a given file size and provide additional security for cloud storage. In proposed method the hash value of a given file is reduced employing Distributed Storage Hash Algorithm (DSHA) and to provide security the file is encrypted by using an Improved Blowfish Encryption Algorithm (IBEA). This framework also proposes the enhanced fuzzy based intrusion detection system (EFIDS) by defining rules for the major attacks, thereby alert the system automatically. Finally the combination of data exclusion and security encryption technique allows cloud users to effectively manage their cloud storage by avoiding repeated data encroachment. It also saves bandwidth and alerts the system from attackers. The results of experiments reveal that the discussed algorithm yields improved throughput and bytes
saved per second in comparison with other chunking algorithms.
