Jaiswal Abstract - Data storage and applications have observed a large shift from being stored and used in local drives just a decade ago to being almost entirely cloud dependent today. This change in usage has brought about new challenges to be dealt with. Traditional security solutions were developed keeping in mind the use case for local storage. Techniques like cryptography have evolved to be more adaptive and secure. Yet, time after time, it has been proven that they can be broken. However, this is no longer adequate as the working and use of cloud networks is vastly different than local storage devices. Thus, new solutions need to be developed in order to secure this already established pattern of data consumption.
