Popis: Nowadays, cloud computing is the main core of IT development. Due to its security issues and lack of security mechanisms, users are delaying the fast adoption of this technology. The privacy of data is usually limited by access policies for resources provided by cloud vendors, but nobody can confirm that only authorized entities have access to them. The present paper provides a practical solution to important security issues encountered in the cloud: privacy, confidentiality and access control. For preventing unauthorized access, the data is encrypted using Key-Aggregate Algorithm before being uploaded to the cloud. Commutative encryption is used for Key Management. There are also third party services that handle keeping the keys safe and controlling the access policies.
