Abstract
A cloud user can utilize different computing resources (e.g. network, storage, software application), whenever required, without being concerned with the complex underlying technology and infrastructure architecture. The most important feature is that the computing resources are available whenever they are needed. Additionally, users pay only for the resource they actually use. By using cloud-based solutions, companies do not need to have their own hard ware infrastructure to host their application. Thus, they eliminate the need for a large capital investment to purchase this hardware. However, there is often a lack of security when realizing such cloud-based solutions. In the longer term, the problems caused by this lack of security might inhibit companies from taking advantage of cloud-based solutions. This paper aims to strengthen the security of the cloud-based data storage for various clients by encryption and face detection mechanism.
