Abstract:

Cloud computing is a new information technology, which has developed rapidly in recent years.But the security problem of cloud computing is facing serious challenges, especially data in the state of storage and processingin the form of plaintext. Homomorphic encryptionis an ideal method to achieve data’sstorage and processing in the form of ciphertext.The study status of homomorphic encryption was analyzed in the paper. The currentstatus of the study on homomorphic encryption is not ideal, and there are still some limitations. In view of the deficiency of the traditional homomorphic encryption algorithm, an improved encryption scheme was proposed, whichwas achieved by using Chinese remainder theorem and drawing lessons fromElGamal algorithm and RSA algorithm. The correctness and homomorphism of the proposed scheme were verified by experimental test.

Key words: cloud computing, homomorphic encryption, El Gamal algorithm, RSA algorithm, Chinese Remainder Theorem
