Abstract: Cloud computing provide a secure way for data
sharing and maintaining its security by preventing collusion
attack in cloud. Due to the incessant change of the enrollment,
protecting the sharing information is a challenging task,
particularly for an untrusted cloud because of the conspiracy
assault. In this paper, we propose a safe information sharing
plan for element individuals. To
begin with, client in the data sharing system upload their file
with the encryption using private key. This property is
especially important to any large scale data sharing system,
as any user leak the key information then it will become
difficult for the data owner to maintain security of the
information. In this paper provide a concrete and efficient
instantiation of scheme, prove its security and provide an
implementation to show its practicality. There are lots of
challenges for data owner to share their data on servers or
cloud. There are different solutions to solve these problems.
These techniques are very much critical to handle key shared
by the data owner. This paper will introduce the trusted
authority to authenticate user those who have the access to
the data on cloud. The trusted authority module receives
encrypted file using AES Algorithm from the data owner. It
stores key in its database which will be used during the
dynamic operations and to determine the cheating party in
the system (CSP or Owner). Trusted authority send file to CSP
module to store on cloud.
1. Introduction
As cloud computing becomes prevalent, more and more
sensitive information By storing their data into the cloud,
the data owners can be relieved from the burden of data
storage and maintenance, so as to enjoy the on-demand high
quality data storage service cloud server are not in the same
trusted domain may put the outsourced data at risk.
In this work, a secure data sharing scheme, which can
achieve secure key distribution and data sharing for a
dynamic group in the cloud. The main contributions of this
scheme include:
• A secure data sharing scheme can be protected from
collusion attack. The revoked users cannot be able to get
original data files once they are revoked even if they
conspire with the untrusted cloud. This scheme can achieve
secure user revocation with the help of polynomial function.
• This scheme can achieve fine-grained access control. With
the help of the group user list, any user in the group can use
the source in the cloud and revoked users cannot access the
cloud again [1].
• A way for key distribution without any secure
communication channels. The users secure can securely
obtain their private keys from group manager without any
Certificate Authorities due to the verification for the public
key of the user.
A key challenge in moving to the cloud is to ensure and build
confidence that user data is handled securely in the cloud. A
recent Microsoft survey found that 58 percent of the public
and 86 percent of business leaders are excited about the
possibilities of cloud computing. But, more than 90 percent
of them are worried about security, availability, and privacy
of their data as it rests in the cloud [2]. There is tension
between user data protection and rich computation in the
cloud. Users want to maintain control of their data, but also
want to benefit from rich services provided by application
developers using that data. Cloud computing have aimed to
allow access large amounts of data in a fully virtualized
manner. Cloud computing allows for the sharing and
scalable deployment of services from almost any location,
for which the customer can be charged based on actual
usage. Security is needed against unauthorized access and to
reduce risks of data stealing. The main aim of security is to
provide availability, confidentiality, integrity to the data [3].
There are so many risk associated with the cloud network
like data can be hacked by an unauthorized person. Data can
be changed by third party while transferring the data. Thus
to provide security to cloud data we proposed a system
which can achieve secure key distribution and data sharing
for dynamic group.
2. Related Work
Following are some existing method of cloud storage:
A. Cryptographic Cloud Storage:
Many researchers have proposed stored encrypted data in
the cloud to define against CSP. S. Kamara and K. Lauter [4]

in their work “Cryptographic cloud storage” considered the
problem of building a secure cloud storage service on top of
a public cloud infrastructure where the service provider is
not completely trusted by the customer. Its core, the
architecture consists of three components: a data processor
(DP), that processes data before it is sent to the cloud; a data
verifier (DV), that checks whether the data in the cloud has
been tampered with; and a token generator (TG), Under this
approach, users are revoked by having a third party to re
encrypt data such that previous keys can no longer decrypt
any data.
B. Plutus: Scalable Secure File Sharing On
Untrusted Storage:
Which uses a lockbox to protect only the keys. Mechanisms
that Plutus uses to provide basic file system security
features-(1) To detect and prevent unauthorized data
modifications, (2) To differentiate between read and write
access to files, and (3) To change users access privileges. In
encrypt-on-disk file systems, the clients encrypt all
directories and their contents. Which used a single key to
encrypt an entire directory of files. R. Lu [5] in their work
“Plutus: Scalable secure file sharing on untrusted storage”
introduces a new secure file system which strives to provide
strong security even with an untrusted server. The main
feature of Plutus is that all data is stored encrypted and all
key distribution is handled in a decentralized manner. All
cryptographic and key management operations are
performed by the clients, and the server incurs very little
cryptographic overhead.
C. Mona: Secure Multi-Owner Data Sharing For
Dynamic Groups In The Cloud:
With the character of low maintenance, cloud computing
provides an economical and efficient solution for sharing
group resource among cloud users. Unfortunately, sharing
data in a multi-owner manner while preserving data and
identity privacy from an untrusted cloud is still a challenging
issue, due to the frequent change of the membership. In this
paper, we propose a secure multi owner data sharing
scheme, named Mona, for dynamic groups in the cloud. By
leveraging group signature and dynamic broadcast
encryption techniques, any cloud user can anonymously
share data with others. Meanwhile, the storage overhead
and encryption computation cost of our scheme are
independent with the number of revoked users. In addition,
we analyze the security of our scheme with rigorous proofs,
and demonstrate the efficiency of our scheme in
experiments[6]. Kallahalla et al [7] presented a
cryptographic storage system that enables secure data
sharing on untrustworthy servers based on the techniques
that dividing files into file groups and encrypting each file
group with a file-block key. Yu et al exploited and combined
techniques of key policy attribute based encryption, proxy
re-encryption and lazy re-encryption to achieve fine-grained
data access control without disclosing data contents.
3. Proposed Work
In this paper, we propose a protected information sharing
plan, which can accomplish secure key distribution and
information sharing for element bunch. The primary
commitments of our plan include:
We give a safe approach to key distribution without any safe
correspondence channels. The clients can safely get their
private keys from gathering administrator with no
Certificate Powers due to the confirmation for people in
general key of the client. Our plan can accomplish fine-
grained access control, with the assistance of the gathering
client list, any client in the gathering can utilize the source in
the cloud and revoked clients can't get to the cloud again
after they are revoked.
We propose a protected information sharing plan which can
be shielded from intrigue assault. The revoked clients
cannot have the capacity to get the first information
documents once they are repudiated regardless of the fact
that they plot with the untrusted cloud. Our plan can
accomplish secure client repudiation with the assistance of
polynomial capacity.
Our plan can bolster dynamic gatherings productively, when
another client joins in the gathering or a client is denied
from the gathering, the private keys of alternate clients don't
should be recomputed and overhauled. We give security
investigation to demonstrate the security of our plan.
Furthermore, we additionally perform reproductions to
exhibit the productivity of our plan. We give security

Cloud Server:
The cloud service provider manages a cloud to provide data
storage service. Data owners encrypt their data files and
store them in the cloud for sharing with data consumers. To
access the shared data files, data consumers download
encrypted data files of their interest from the cloud and then
decrypt them.
Data Owner: (Group Member)
In this module, the data owner uploads their data in the
cloud server. For the security purpose the data owner
encrypts the data file and then store in the cloud. The Data
owner can have capable of manipulating the encrypted data
file. And the data owner can set the access privilege to the
encrypted data file.

Group Manager:
The Group Manager who is trusted to store verification
parameters and offer public query services for these
parameters. In our system the Trusted Third Party, view the
user data and uploaded to the distributed cloud. In
distributed cloud environment each cloud has user data. The
Group Manager will perform the revocation and un
revocation of the remote user if he is the attacker or
malicious user over the cloud data.
Data Integrity:
Data Integrity is very important in database operations in
particular and Data warehousing and Business intelligence
in general. Because Data Integrity ensured that data is of
high quality, correct, consistent and accessible.
Data Consumer: (End User / Group Member)
In this module, the user can only access the data file with the
encrypted key if the user has the privilege to access the file
[9]. For the user level, all the privileges are given by the GM
authority and the Data users are controlled by the GM
Authority only. Users may try to access data files either
within or outside the scope of their access privileges, so
malicious users may collude with each other to get sensitive
files beyond their privileges.
System Architecture:
Figure 1. System Architecture
As illustrated in the above figure, the system model consists
of three different entities: the cloud, a group manager and a
large number of group members. The cloud, maintained by
the cloud service providers, provides storage space for
hosting data files in a pay-as you-go manner. However, the
cloud is untrusted since the cloud service providers are
easily to become un-trusted. Therefore, the cloud will try to
learn the content of the stored data.
Group manager takes charge of system parameters
generation, user registration, and user revocation. In the
practical applications, the group manager usually is the
leader of the group. Therefore, we assume that the group
manager is fully trusted by the other practices.
Group members (users) are a set of registered users that
will store their own data into the cloud and share them with
others. In the scheme, the group membership is dynamically
changed, due to the new user registration and user
revocation
4. Conclusion
This scheme designs a secure anti-collusion data sharing
scheme for dynamic groups in the cloud. In this scheme, the
users can securely obtain their private keys from group
manager without any Certificate Authorities and secure
communication channels. Also, this scheme is able to
support dynamic groups efficiently, when a new user joins in
the group or a user is revoked from the group, the private
keys of the other users do not need to be recomputed and
updated. Moreover, this scheme can achieve secure user
revocation, the revoked users can not be able to get the
original data files once they are revoked even if they
conspire with the untrusted cloud.
