Abstract:

The security of cloud computing is enhancing rapidly. Data owners usually encrypt their data so that certain users can decode it, protecting the privacy of data stored in the cloud. If an encrypted device needs to be shared with more individuals than the owner has designated, this could lead to very serious issues. In this research, the proposed end-of-end cloud data encryption utilizing the Attribute-Based Key Management Encryption Algorithm (ABKMEA) produces public and private key pairs for the users participating in the data exchange. The proposed ABKME algorithm is the best approach to address the throughput, performance and less computational time. The proposed algorithm ABKMEA gives the computational time of 128 bits is 1.79 sec, 192 bits is 1.81 sec, 256 bits is 2.02sec, 512 bits is 2.11sec, 1024 bits is 2.42sec,2048 bits is 2.42sec,3072 bits is 2.62sec, and 4096 bits is 2.74sec. Therefore, the proposed Attribute-Based Key Management Encryption Algorithm is the best approach for End to End Encryption associated with encrypting and decrypting the data in cloud computing environments.
