Description
Cloud computing has revolutionized data storage and access, yet concerns about data security persist. This study delves into cloud network storage security, specifically comparing client-side encryption with traditional server-side encryption. Client-side encryption involves users encrypting data before uploading it to the cloud, ensuring greater control and privacy. In contrast, server-side encryption relies on service providers for data security. Through qualitative research and a comparative analysis of encryption methods, key aspects such as encryption algorithms, key management, user authentication, access control, and performance optimization are examined. Findings highlight that while client-side encryption empowers users with control over data security, it presents challenges in key management and performance. Server-side encryption offers operational convenience but depends on providers for key management, potentially exposing data to security risks. The study recommends a balanced approach, leveraging the strengths of both encryption methods. It emphasizes the importance of cost-effective key management solutions, advanced optimization techniques, and comprehensive user education programs to enhance the adoption and effectiveness of client-side encryption in cloud network storage security. This research contributes valuable insights to the ongoing discourse on cloud security, providing guidance on encryption strategies to mitigate risks and enhance data protection in cloud environments.
