Cloud Security using Steganography

Abstract

As data is rapidly increasing day by day we need more and more space to store that data and our computers are not able to store and process such a huge data. We need to buy additional memory in form of CD, DVD, and hard disk Drive etc. and store our data, the other option is to store your data on cloud. Not only storage but we can also use the software and platforms online rather than installing at our site. This whole thing is known as cloud computing. Cloud Computing is an emerging technology that is changing the way of data storage and computing.Although Cloud Computing is very useful these days but it also some cons. As your data is lying at remote location, security is the most alarming issue. In this paper we are going to describe security issues related to cloud and securing data while transmitting and at rest in cloud computing. Steganography is one such method of securing information in cloud.
