Cloud dominates the IT enterprises by way of its computing services. One of the services provided by the cloud is data storage. Cloud storage mainly supports Small and Medium scale Enterprises (SMEs) by reducing their capital investments and maintenance of storage servers. Most of the SMEs are outsourcing their data to cloud storage. Enterprises’ data that are forwarded to the cloud have to be kept in the public cloud storage. Safety and security are the top most issues in cloud storage. The confidentiality parameter provides data storage security. This paper proposes a security service algorithm named AROcrypt to ensure the security of data stored in cloud storage. It also describes Security as a Service (SEaaS) in the cloud environment. Simulation was conducted using a security analysis tool with existing techniques. The proposed technique provides better performance and good security when compared with existing techniques.
