Abstract

Lately, the information that can be stored and analyzed in the petabyte scale datasets also known as Big Data has proved to be immensely utilitarian due to its innumerable applications such as analysis of user’s choices which can be used in the manipulation of options provided to a user by various firms and organizations. This is intended for the benefit of the user can be highly beneficial and fructuous. This Big Data is stored in storage places called as Cloud that have other kinds of data directly provided by users stored as well. Applications of these data directly provided by users usually entail storing large data chunks in certain designated locations by the users so that the user does not have to worry about managing data storages for the same. These applications have led to opening up of a whole new plethora of possibilities, trends, and engagements. Unfortunately, not all of these are legit and we can see malpractices cropping up every day due to manipulation of user’s personal data for odious uses and ill-intentions. That being said, one must not undermine the cumulative storage size required for storing these magnanimous data. [Problems]: This means the major concerns for data storage in Cloud today are two. The first one is managing large data storage locations. The second one is the safety of stored data from Machiavellian sources that unceasingly try to get hold of intricate data for malicious purposes. [Solution]: Therefore this research aims at finding a way out of these prevalent problems. This is achieved by aiming at the two major problems. The first one is dealt with using distributed file storage system which can be employed by an organization to store intricate personal data in their own computing systems. This would enable them the assurance of no data leakage by a foreign data storage firm that would have been managing their data on its own cloud. Using this distributed file system would also hold the organization accountable for any data breaches and hence the security of data could be managed in a better way. The second problem of security against malicious data intrusions is dealt with using encryption and decryption techniques while storing and retrieving data. The encryption-decryption technique utilized in this research is RSA. [Result]: By performing the aforementioned steps, the two major concerns that come with storing personal data on the cloud can be handled efficiently.
