SECURED CLOUD-BASED FILE STORAGE SYSTEM

Abstract: In today’s digital era, data security and accessibility are critical concerns for individuals and organizations. This project aims to develop a secured cloud-based file storage system that enables users to store, manage, and share files with robust security mechanisms. The system will leverage cloud computing technologies to provide scalability, accessibility, and data redundancy while ensuring data confidentiality through encryption techniques.

Key Features: 1. User Authentication & Access Control – Secure login mechanisms with multi-factor authentication (MFA) to prevent unauthorized access.
2. End-to-End Encryption – Implementation of AES-256 encryption for files in storage and SSL/TLS for secure data transmission.
3. Role-Based Access Management – Users can define permissions for file access (e.g., read, write, share) to enhance security.
4. Secure File Sharing – Users can generate time-limited and password-protected file-sharing links. 5. Data Redundancy & Backup – Automated backup mechanisms to ensure data availability in case of failures. 6. Audit Logs & Activity Monitoring – Comprehensive tracking of user actions and access history for security monitoring.
7. Cloud Scalability & Integration – The system is designed to work with multiple cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud) for efficient storage management.

The system will be developed using cloud computing platforms, cryptographic algorithms, and web-based technologies to create a highly secure and user-friendly solution. This project will address concerns related to data breaches, unauthorized access, and secure collaboration, making it suitable for businesses and individuals seeking reliable cloud storage solutions.
