Abstract

This paper focuses on data leakage problem and 
its security in cloud storage technology. It has been seen that 
there are still some vulnerabilities in cloud storage which may 
results to compromise of C.I.A. This paper brings out, works 
on two phase of work to avoid data leakage problem, first 
phase is from client side and second phase is done by cloud 
provider side. 
The data which is stored by client in cloud storage 
application have different C.I.A. Some of them are Sensitive 
Having high confidentiality rating, some of them are least 
confidential but some of them have no confidentiality issue, 
which can have public access but require more integrity. In 
such situation, the data stored in cloud database with equal 
priority is not feasible. This paper has given a concept to store 
the data in database after prioritizing and then encrypting 
from client side itself. Before Uploading on cloud side, the 
client is required to mention criticality of that data. After 
Information declaration a matrix is prepared on basis of CIA 
analysis of data as desired by user which elaborates the 
criticality of data. Criticality is estimated on the basis of C.I.A. 
Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability. Based on sensitivity, 
data will be encrypted and access control list will be defined.. 
The second phase removes the problem of file access by 
another user who wants to access, as it is encrypted by client 
(owner).  
The proposed model addresses for reliability in storage 
systems (where the key component under investigation is to 
maintain the C.I.A.). Our observations and techniques are 
instrumental for a wide spectrum of systems, ranging from 
distributed storage systems for the enterprise to cloud data 
services.
