As Security is becoming more and more useful in the field of computing, users would like to be sure of how secure their files are on a system, as security is one of the most crucial fields in networking and file storage. Dependable file storage and access establish several security issues in a cloud computing. This research designed and implemented virtual secure file storage system on cloud using hybrid cryptography. The cryptography method used for file encryption and decryption is AES and SHA-2 hash function. It is implemented using Cloud APIs with REST calls or client libraries in PHP. The system interfaces were developed using HTML, CSS and JAVASCRIPT. Back end development was done using PHP, MYSQL and GCP Cloud Storage Library then the file encryption and decryption was achieved through PHP classes which includes open_ssl_file_encryption and decryption (AES) and also MCRYPT function. The proposed virtual system is also compared with some latest related works.

As Security is becoming more and more useful in the field of computing, users would like to be sure of how secure their files are on a system, as security is one of the most crucial fields in networking and file storage. Dependable file storage and access establish several security issues in a cloud computing. This research designed and implemented virtual secure file storage system on cloud using hybrid cryptography. The cryptography method used for file encryption and decryption is AES and SHA-2 hash function. It is implemented using Cloud APIs with REST calls or client libraries in PHP. The system interfaces were developed using HTML, CSS and JAVASCRIPT. Back end development was done using PHP, MYSQL and GCP Cloud Storage Library then the file encryption and decryption was achieved through PHP classes which includes open_ssl_file_encryption and decryption (AES) and also MCRYPT function. The proposed virtual system is also compared with some latest related works.
