ABSTRACT
A cloud storage system, consisting of a collection of storage servers, provides longterm storage services over the Internet. Storing data in a third party's cloud system causes serious concern over data confidentiality. General encryption schemes protect data confidentiality, but also limit the functionality of the storage system because a few operations are supported over encrypted data. Constructing a secure storage system that supports multiple functions is challenging when the storage system is distributed and has no central authority.We propose a threshold proxy re-encryption scheme and integrate it with a decentralized erasure code such that a secure distributed storage system is formulated. The distributed storage system not only supports secure and robust data storage and retrieval, but also lets a user forward his data in the storage servers to another user without retrieving the data back. The main technical contribution is that the proxy re-encryption scheme supports encoding operations over encrypted messages as well as forwarding operations over encoded and encrypted messages. Our method fully integrates encrypting, encoding, and forwarding.
.1 Existing System In Existing System we use a straightforward integration method. In straightforward integration method storing data a third partys cloud system causes serious concern on data confidentiality. In order to provide strong confidentiality for messages in storage servers, a user can encrypt messages by a cryptographic method before applying an erasure code method to encode and store messages. When he wants to use a message, he needs to retrieve the Codeword symbols from storage servers, decode them, and then decrypt them by using cryptographic keys. General encryption schemes protect data confidentiality, but also limit the functionality of the storage system because a few operations are supported over encrypted data. A decentralized architecture for storage systems offers good scalability, because a storage server can join or leave without control of a central authority. Limitation Of Existing System
The user can perform more computation and communication traffic
and storage servers is high.
The user has to manage his cryptographic keys otherwise the securityhas to be broken.
between the user
The data storing and retrieving, it is hard for storage servers to directlysupport other functions. 3.2 Proposed System
In our proposed system we address the problem of forwarding data to another user by storage servers directly under the command of the data owner. We consider the system model that consists of distributed storage servers and key servers. Since storing cryptographic keys in a single device is risky, a user distributes his cryptographic key to key servers that shall perform cryptographic functions on behalf of the user. These key servers are highly protected by security mechanisms. The distributed systems require independent servers to perform all operations. We propose a new threshold proxy re-encryption scheme and integrate it with a secure decentralized code to form a secure distributed storage system. The encryption scheme supports encoding operations over encrypted messages and forwarding operations over encrypted and encoded messages.
Advantages Of Proposed System:
Tight integration of encoding, encryption, and forwarding makes the storage system efficiently meet the requirements of data robustness, data confidentiality, and data forwarding. The storage servers independently perform encoding and reencryptionprocess and the key servers independently perform partial decryption process.
More flexible adjustment between the number of storage servers androbustness.

5.1 MODULE DESCRIPTION
Construction of Cloud Data Storage Module Data Encryption Module Data Forwarding Module Data Retrieval Module CONSTRUCTION OF CLOUD STORAGE MODULE: In Admin Module the admin can login to give his username and password. Then the server setup method can be opened. In server setup process the admin first set the remote servers Ipaddress for send that Ip-address to the receiver. Then the server can skip the process to activate or Dis-activate the process. For activating the process the storage server can display the Ip-address. For Dis-activating the process the storage server cannot display the Ipaddress. These details can be viewed by clicking the key server. The activated Ip-addresses are stored in available storage server. By clicking the available storage server button we canview the currently available Ip-addresses.. DATA ENCRYPTION MODULE: In cloud login module the user can login his own details. If the user cannot have the account for that cloud system first the user can register his details for using and entering into the cloud system. The Registration process details are Username, Email,password, confirm password, date of birth, gender and also the location. After entering the registration process the details can be stored in database of the cloud system. Then the user has to login to give his corrected username and password the code has to be send his/her E-mail. Then the user will go to open his account and view the code that can be generated from the cloud system. In Upload Module the new folder can be create for storing the files. In folder creation process the cloud system may ask one question for that user. The user should answer the question and must remember that answer for further usage. Thenenter the folder name for create the folder for that user. In file upload process the user has to choose one file from browsing the system and enter the upload option. Now, the server from the cloud can give the encrypted form of the uploading file. Data Forwarding Module In forward module first we can see the storage details for the uploaded files. When click the storage details option we can see the file name, question, answer, folder name, forward value (true or false), forward E-mail. If the forward column display the forwarded value is true the user cannot forward to another person. If the forward column display the forwarded value is false the user can forward the fileinto another person. In file forward processes contains the selected file name, Email address of the forwarder and
enter the code to the forwarder. Now, another user can check his account properly and view the code forwarded from the previous user. Then the current user has login to the cloud system and to check the receive details. In receive details the forwarded file is present then the user will go to the download process. DATA FORWARDING MODULE: Data which is to be forwarded from one user to another user is splitinto number of parts and each part is encrypted by the public key part of the recipient of the data. We split the data into three parts and are encrypted by the public key of the user. Now generate a reencryption key by using the AES algorithm by giving the inputs as a part of secret key of sender and the public key part of the receiver. The re-encryption key of length 256 bits is produced by the AES algorithm and then used for re-encryption purpose. Now 3 encrypted blocks each is re-encrypted using the re-encryption key. Each block is distributed to the data servers and re-encrypted cipher blocks are encoded and stored in the storage servers (data servers). DATA RETRIVAL MODULE: In Download module contains the following details. There are username and file name. First, the server process can be run which means the server can be connected with its particular client. Now, the client has to download the file to download the file key. In file key downloading process the fields are username, filename, question, answer and the code. Now clicking the download option the client can view the encrypted key. Then using that key the client can view the file and usethat file appropriately.
