Abstract
Cloud computing technology is flexible, cost effective and reliable for the provision of IT services to businesses and individuals through means of internet. Clearly beneficial in terms of costs, this technology has gained immediate popularity. However, security concerns have slowed its expansion. It is possible that the full adoption of cloud computing is not appropriate in some cases, for security reasons related to confidentiality and data integrity. Cryptographic methods that could reduce these risks to acceptable levels, however, were developed. In this article, we introduce a method implementing encryption based on human genetics, more particularly on protein biosynthesis. The attractive coupling between the encryption of content and biosynthesis protects data against unauthorized access. The experiments show that our proposal provides a good balance between the integrity and confidentiality of data.
