Away from Theory: A Cloud Storage Application with Public Key Searchable Encryption Feature

Navigating the complex realm of secure cloud storage, our application offers a uniquely robust and user-friendly data storage solution, adeptly bridging AES-256 encryption and public key searchable encryption to safeguard user data while maintaining accessible retrieval. Specifically, the Searchable Encryption submodule leverages the unaltered scheme proposed by Senouci et al. In J Syst Archit 119:102271 [1], foundational in enabling secure, efficient data searchability without necessitating decryption. Furthermore, detailed access control and comprehensive audit logging empower users with precise control and transparent oversight of their stored data, enhancing data security and user trust. With an architecture that synergizes stringent security protocols and user-centric design, the application presents a paradigm shift in secure cloud storage, achieving a harmonious balance between impenetrable data security and user accessibility, thereby setting a new benchmark in secure data storage and retrieval in cloud environments.
