Setting Up and Exploration of Security in a Hybrid Cloud
Developed a secure private cloud interface using Django as the full-stack framework. Implemented a four-step authentication process involving password, OTP, ReCaptcha and an RSA certificate. Failure in any of the authentication stages after multiple retries will redirect you to a honeypot, a decoy system which looks identical to the actual application, where we identify an intruder’s IP address. Successful authentication redirects you to the actual file system, where all files are encrypted using AES 256 algorithm. This research was done in a team of three. I presented our research paper, “Four Layer Authentication with Honeypot and Cloud Data Encryption”, at the ERCICA NMIT 2020 International conference.
