Security Algorithms For Cloud Computing

With growing awareness and concerns regarding Cloud Computing and Information Security, there is growing awareness and usage of Security Algorithms in data systems and processes. This chapter presents a brief overview and comparison of Cryptographic algorithms, with an emphasis on Symmetric algorithms should be used for Cloud-based applications and services that require data and link encryption. In this chapter, we review Symmetric and Asymmetric algorithms with an emphasis on Symmetric Algorithms for security consideration on which one should be used for Cloud-based applications and services that require data and link encryption.
