SMOADS - Secured Multi-Owner Attribute-based Data Sharing in cloud computing

Cloud computing is one of the emerging areas and has captured the attention of all industries given its ability to increase computing capacity dynamically with minimal investment in infrastructure. But as more and more information gets placed on cloud, concerns are abuzz about data privacy and data protection. In this paper, we propose SMOADS - Secured Multi Owner Attribute-based Data Sharing - along with dynamic manager to ensure very secured data sharing on cloud and also reduce the hacking probability. In this proposed work, dynamism introduced at various levels which reduces the scope of hacking. The multi-level dynamism is characterized by multi owner and dynamic manager - defined by Certificate Authority (CA) and these are made effective through the proven CP-ABE for efficient decryption and revocation.
