Abstract

Data sharing is viewed as one of the most advantageous parts in cloud computing since the expansion of the Internet of Things. As astounding as this technology has been, data security still remains as one of the hindrances ( the issues like data tampering, data leakage, privacy concerns, etc. are associated with it). In this survey paper, a “Proxy Re-encryption” proposal is made to assure safe data sharing in IoT devices and cloud based services. Data owners can share their ciphered data on the cloud storage i.e. Blockchain using identification-based encryption, while PRE model will allow authorized users to access the data. As the IoT devices have limited resources, a peripheral device acts as a proxy server to operate meticulous computations. Also, the advantages of information based networks are used to carry reserved contents in the proxy server constructively,thus providing improved service-quality. Further, Our proposed system is based on one of the innovative technologies i.e. blockchain which validates decentralization during sharing of data. It reduces the restrictions in the centralised system and achieves gentle access control of the data. Our proposed architecture overcomes several security constraints and maintains intense integrity and confidentiality.
