This document discusses using elliptic curve cryptography to improve data security in cloud computing. It begins with an abstract that introduces cloud computing and data security as major issues. Then, it provides background on cryptography and classifications of cryptographic algorithms like symmetric, asymmetric, and hash functions. The document also discusses security issues in cloud computing like data isolation, secure data transfer, secure interfaces and access control. It proposes using elliptic curve cryptography to address these issues and provide confidentiality, integrity and authentication for data in the cloud. Overall, the document examines how cryptography can enhance security for data stored in cloud computing environments.
