Abstract – Most of the data has been proceed through
third-party application (TPA) anduserareunawareaboutthe
security essentials in cloud computing. The data owner will
store the data in the cloud. Every user must have registered in
the cloud. Cloud provider must verify the authorized user. If
someone try to access the account, data will get leaked. This
leaked data will present in an unapproved site as in on the
internet or someone’s computer. In this paper, to address
performance and security issue. We propose DROPS
methodology, abbreviated as Division and ReplicationofData
in the Cloud for Optimal Performance and Security. In this
methodology, we have to select the file and then store the
particular file in the cloud account. In order to provide
security, we are going to implement DROPS concepts. Now we
divide the file into various fragments based on the threshold
value. Each and every fragments are stored in the node using
T-Coloring. After the placement of fragments in node, it is
necessary to replicate each fragments for one time in cloud.
Key Words: DROPS, leaked, cloud computing, data
leakage, T-Colouring,
1. INTRODUCTION
Every company focus on security issues of securing the data
from different third parties form being out sourced. Every
company follows a different strategy which does not match
with any other company.The employeesintheorganizations
are being trained to support the data secrecy and the
fundamental structure of the organization. The safety must
be beyond the employees’ knowledge so that the employee
has no idea of cracking it by covering logical and physical
security. Information security is frequently subjected to
metaphors. The information security must be targeted at
global level by not letting the user know the problematic
issues faced by the security department and also the logical
security i.e. the sensitive data, applications and also the
operating system used in a particular institute. The security
must also be extended to telecommunication department of
the institute so that they have a network security also.
Data Leakage may take place at any time, there is no
designated time. Data leakage rely onlyonthesignificanceof
sharing information by the agent. The information
distributed is consideredassensitivedata whenitconsistsof
information about the client, budget, code and any design
specification. If the leakage occurs, it leaves the institute in
unprotected state. This data leakage places the institute or
organizations in the state of uncertainty resulting in the
decry of the business and eventually defeat of the company.
Cloud computing security is growing in information
security, computer security.Inmostcasesitisrecommended
that based on the segment of risks security of data control to
be choose and executed, by evaluating the vulnerabilities
threats, and influences. The security concerns of the cloud
can then be organized in different ways;Gartner[9]discover
14 regions of distress during the alliance of Cloud Security.
Traditionally, Watermarking techniqueisusedtohandle
data leakage detection. For instance, in every distributed
copies a unique code is embedded using different types of
watermarking algorithm. If this copyatlatertimeisfound by
any unauthorized person, the personcan’tbeidentified. This
result in the major drawback in watermarking technique.
Though Watermarking technique is advantageous in real-
time domain, yet again, few changes in the original
information. In no time, if the recipient of the data is
malicious, watermarks will be destroyed. Security is one of
the most crucial aspects in cloud computing. Hence this
prohibit the adoption of cloud computing. Hence, in this
paper, we addressed the issue of security and performance.
We proposed Division and Replication of Data in the Cloud
for Optimal Performance and Security (DROPS) this will
break the owner’s files into various sections and replace
them in the cloud space. The owner of the data decides the
threshold value, based on this value fragments of a file is
performed. So that the meaning full information is not held
by the fragments.
Any attack that is successful on any nodeshouldnothint
the position of other fragments present within the cloud
space. This in turn make the intruder cannot predict
locations of file fragments so that it improves the security in
the cloud. By using T-Coloring concept is usedtodothenode
separation in order to select nodes in such a way that nodes

are not adjacent and are at obviousdistancefromeachother.
Furthermore, the fragments storing in the nodes are placed
with an obvious distance with the aid of graph T-Coloring in
order to block an intruder from accessing the site of the
fragments.
2. LITERATURE SURVERY
Prashant Khobragade [8] [10] proposed that to detect the
region where the attack has been taken place it is requiredto
inspect data in the browser history. The inspected data is
then brought together and put into database as a proof. The
suggested method and forensic toolkit helps to analyze the
data for the law enforcement.
Sandip A. Kale, S.V. Kulkarni [2] focuses on robust
watermarking technique, this technique will be useful in few
cases, yet again, few modification of the original data is
required. Moreover, watermarks will bedestroyedifthedata
recipient is vengeful. The agent can add fake items to the
spread data to improve the potency in finding criminal
agents.
Sushilkumar, B.Shinde, Archana. Bhosale [3], shows that
in different institutes and organizations data leakage is
spotted as the very serious and big challenge. They have
further explained that sellers add fake information that is
shared among the consumers in an attempt to increase the
chance to detect criminal agents. This is detection of data
leakage is then handled by an algorithm.
Data leakage [7] [12] takes place in everyday life this
happens when private business informationlikeinformation
of consumer, technical code or design description, amount
lists, intellectual property and secrets of trade and
spreadsheets of budgetsareleaked.Whenthisinformationor
data is dripped out it puts the company in the state of
unprotected. This leads business in an unsafe position,
Putting the company in serious risk due to data leakage.
3. EXISTING SYSTEM
Water marking Technique: is a type of security technique
which deals with the idea of embedding a particular code or
encryption on the information that is to be distributed. The
information can be image or a video or any official file. This
encryption helps the company to claim the ownershiponany
particular data. Water marking is a technique where a bit
pattern is added to the data at a particular position on the
tuples and subset of the data. The tuple and subset and their
attributes are algorithmically coded in such a way that they
are controlled by a key which can be accessed only by the
owner.
Fake Objects Method: this method causes less problems
to the real objects by introducing fake objects in some
applications. Consider an example, where hospitals are
agents and medical records are distributed data items. Here
in the records even the small change is undesirable. Still, the
addition of fake information to the records will not affect as
this data would notbematchinganypatientrecordandhence
no patient would be treated on the basis of fake records
injected. In this case, company A Company X sellsproductsto
company Y a list to send advertisements be used once.
Company X then injects trace data which contain addresses
possess by company X. Thus, every time company Y
purchases the product through list, company will receive a
copies of the mails. This tracedataarefakeitemsthatenables
to identify the misuse of data.
4. PROPOSED SYSTEM
Detecting data leakage: The data owner first registered into
the cloud account. Each and every user has to registered into
the cloud. Now the data owner and user will become the
authorized person. The data owner will upload the file into
the cloud. Now the data owner login into the account, at that
timethe cloud provider verifies the alreadyregisteredowner
or not. If they are registered owner and then they will
transfer the file to the users who have registered. The user
can now login intotheiraccount,cloudprovideragainverifies
the user. The user will download the file sent by the data
owner.
If someone try to copy the URL, the data get leaked in
someone’s laptop. Now the details about the unauthorized
person will be tracked. This tracked information sent as a
mobile intimation to the data owner. The mobile intimation
will hold information like IP address, MAC address and GPS
location.

Drops Methodology: In DROPS methodology, we are not
storing the entire file in cloudspace. Now weare splittingthe
entire file into various fragments. These fragments have to
distribute in the cloud space. Each and every fragment has to
place in a particular node. So that each node contains only a
single fragment. In each successful attack the node will not
reveal the significant information. After the fragmentation
process replication will takes place. In replication process,
each fragment has to replicate its content once in the cloud
space. In this way in the cloud computing we can achieve
security. In DROPS methodology, data file is sent to the cloud
space by the user. Cloud manager performs the following on
file receiving: (1) File Fragmentation (2) Selecting Nodes (3)
Fragment stores (4) Nodes selection for fragments
replication.

Drops Implementation
File Fragmentation: In cloud, security is the major aspects
for a large-scale system. Thisprovides the system securityas
individual nodes and whole. On every successful action of
intruding intosingle nodeit providesmoreresultoreffectfor
data and other nodes. A successful intrusion may lead to
software failure. It may also lead to administration
defenseless. File fragmentation is a term that describes a
group of files that are scattered throughout the cloud. The
data owner splits the fileintovariouspiecescalledfragments.
The size of fragmentation is decided by data owner using
threshold value. In variousaspectsthethresholdvaluecanbe
fixed, they are, 1. Decide percentage based on file size. 2.
Numbering ofeachfragments.Forexample,firstfragmentthe
file by 10% of total size or split the file by using various size
like fragment 404MB, fragment 1000MB. It is alsopossibleto
number the fragments like fragment1, fragment2 etc., The
numbering of each fragments only known to the data owner.
There are three types of fragmentation: 1. Horizontal. 2.
Vertical. 3. Mixed (Hybrid).
Fragment Placement: In ordertogivesecuritywhenputting
the fragments in to the cloud, the T-coloring concept is
essential.ChanneltaskproblemsmainlyusesT-Coloring.This
will generatea positive number,randomnumber,tobuildthe
set T by generating random number from zero as start. It
assigns colors to the each and every node, in the beginning,
all nodes will be in open color. The fragmentisthenplacedon
particular node, all the nodes in the neighborhood are at
certain distance which will be belonging to set T and these
are allocate to close color. In this series of actions, this will
lose few central nodes in cloud so that may rise time to
retrieve. If anyhow the intruders try to track the node
position and take the fragment, user cannot make out the
precise location of other fragments.Theintruderendsupjust
predicting thelocationofotherfragmentsincloud.Therefore,
T-coloring concepts are used to separate the nodes.
Fragment Copying/Reproducing: In replication process,
unique copy exists and the same copy will exist once again.
The replication process is used to elevate the availability of
data and their by improve the time to retrieve. This carry out
a controlled reproducing. In replicationprocess,copiesofthe
samedata item have the same value. There are three types of
replication, 1. No replication. 2. Fully replicated. 3. Partial
replication. It positions the fragment on the node that gives
the limited cost access. Hence improve the time to retrieve
the access of the fragments and rebuilding of the original file.
While reproducing the fragment, by T-coloring fragment
separation is achieved, it also takes care of node placement.
In instance of a large counts of fragments or small count of
nodes, there is a possibility thatfewofthefragmentscouldbe
left without being reproducing due to the use of T-coloring
concepts.
T-Coloring: T-coloring forbid keeping the fragment and
also avoid storing a fragment in the node of a neighborhood,
this results in eliminating the nodes that is used to retain. In
such scenarios, where only the remaining fragments, those
nodes are selected which are not possessing any fragments
forrandom storage. T-coloring concept isappliedtoseparate
nodes. The process of fragmentationmadesurenosuccessful
information is obtained in successful attack. In the cloud, no
nodestored the instances of samefile of single fragment.The
DROPS methodology execution is compared with full-scale
reproducingtechniques.Thisoutcomedrawstheattentionon
the performance and security. This rise in the level of data
security.

DROPS methodology isproppedsecurityschemeinthecloud

increase the time to retrieve. Data in the files were
fragmented and these fragments are spreadovermultipleor
many nodes. The fragmented file will be replicated their by
increasing data availabilityandprovidesecuritytothecloud.
The fragmented file will be replicated their by increasing
data availability and provide security to the cloud.
