Abstract

In the era of cloud computing, data sharing among multiple owners has become increasingly prevalent, necessitating robust privacy-preserving mechanisms. This paper delves into the cryptographic approaches that facilitate secure and private data sharing in multi-owner cloud infrastructures. We explore the use of advanced cryptographic techniques, such as homomorphic encryption, secure multi-party computation, and attribute-based encryption, to ensure data confidentiality, integrity, and access control. By integrating these cryptographic methods, we address the challenges of data security and privacy in a collaborative cloud environment. Our study evaluates the effectiveness and efficiency of these approaches, providing a comprehensive analysis of their applicability in real-world scenarios. This research contributes to the development of secure cloud infrastructures, promoting trust and privacy in multi-owner data sharing.
