This document discusses privacy preservation in cloud environments using the AES encryption algorithm. It proposes using AES to encrypt user data before it is uploaded to the cloud to ensure data security. The AES algorithm encrypts data in 128-bit blocks and relies on a series of linked functions to encrypt and decrypt data. The document reviews related work on AES and other encryption methods. It suggests that AES encryption could be used to encrypt user data in a cloud-based application before the encrypted data is stored in the cloud, in order to preserve user privacy.
