Description: Topic: Security in Cloud Using ECC and LSB Algorithms
Location: Lester W. Cory Conference Room, Science & Engineering Building (SENG), Room 213A
ABSTRACT:
Outsourcing of information into the cloud has become an effective trend in modern computing. Cloud computing requires that organizations trust that a service provider's platforms are secured and provide a sufficient level of integrity for the client's data. Despite the fact that cloud-based services offer many advantages, privacy of the outsourced data has always been a big concern. Data is often the most valuable of a company's assets, and it must be protected with as much vigilance as any other asset. In this project, one of the fastest growing cryptographic techniques Elliptical Curve Cryptography (ECC) and the most widely used image steganography technique Least Significant Bit (LSB) algorithm are implemented together for protecting data in the cloud. An application is designed in order to store a text file using the ECC algorithm and the cipher text obtained is inserted inside an image using the LSB algorithm to get a steganographic image. The original input text is decrypted by a registered user only after entering the right private key. Performance of the proposed system is compared with that of an existing system to showcase the strength of the proposed system.
NOTE: All ECE Graduate Students are ENCOURAGED to attend.
All interested parties are invited to attend. Open to the public.
Advisor: Dr. Liudong Xing
Committee Members: Dr. Honggang Wang, Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering and Dr. Adnan El-Nasan, Department of Computer & Information Science
