Abstract: Cloud has become one of the most demanding services for data storage. On another hand, the security of data is one of the challenging tasks for Cloud Service Provider (CSP). Cryptography is one of the ways for securing the storage data. Cryptography is not a new approach instead of the efficient utilization of cryptographical algorithms is greatly needed. In this work, we proposed a Secure Hidden Layer (SHL) and Application Programming Interface (API) for data encryption. The SHL is consisting of two major modules (i) Key Management Server (KMS) and (ii) Share Holder Server (SHS) which is used for storing and sharing of cryptographic key. For this purpose, we proposed a server-side encryption algorithm, which is based on the asymmetric algorithm (RSA and CRT) for providing end-to-end security of multimedia data. The experimental results of text and video are evidence that the size of file is not much affected after the encryption and effectively stored at Cloud Storage Server (CSS). The parameters like ciphertext size, encryption time and throughput are considered for performance evaluation of the proposed encryption technique.
