Bio-Computing Based Algorithms for Cloud Security: A Critical Review

Bio computing methods like Genetic Algorithms and DNA encoding, etc. have created considerable interest in many types of research. Therefore, this paper discusses their role and implementation with existing cryptographic algorithms to enhance data security on the cloud. Today, we all are acquainted with using cloud systems for various purposes such as storage & retrieval, processing, or multimedia sharing. Security of these systems is crucial as many users use the cloud to share and process their data. Various frameworks have been designed based on the collaboration of genetic operators like mutation, crossover, etc. with steganography, symmetric, and asymmetric cryptographic algorithms. This paper provides a survey of different approaches where bio-computing based algorithms are used to enhance multimedia security, data security, and protect the network from intrusions.
