Security　of　data　is　a　big　concern　to　individuals　and　organizations　that　may　be　compelled　to　use　the　cloud　services　since　some　of　these　data　are　quite　sensitive.　The　major　challenges　that　any　Cloud　Computing　Service　Provider　(CSP)　must　overcome　are　to　make　sure　that　its　servers　(VMs)　are　free　from　hacking　by　masqueraders　or　other　attackers　inside　the　CSPs.　Therefore,　there　is　the　need　for　data　to　be　encrypted　and　then　sent　to　the　cloud.　This　will　ensure　that　users/clients　sensitive　data-in-transit　and　at　rest　is　protected.　In　our　new　cloud　framework,　we　implement　for　the　user　the　best-fit　hybrid　algorithm　for　their　data　combined　with　an　enhanced　security　for　the　VM　instance.　We　propose　the　use　of　hybrid　algorithms　for　VMs　and　user　data　encryption.　The　algorithms　include　RSA,　AES　256-bit,　ECC　and　SHA-256　which　makes　up　a　strong　framework　for　speed,　security,　and　integrity　mainly　for　individual　users.　In　the　case　of　bulk　data　or　organizations,　we　propose　Homomorphic　Encryption　where　the　provider　can　operate　on　the　data　without　decrypting　it.　We　minimize　the　indices　for　fast　decryption　and　then　the　decryption　algorithm　will　require　the　computation　of　only　two　pairing　operations,　the　hybrid　of　the　standard　encryption　techniques　and　the　homomorphic　encryption.　©　2005　–　ongoing　JATIT　&　LLS.
