Abstract
With the advent of web and the concerned technologies
the end users can generate or share any number of
documents. A service such as collaborative edition
of online documents is commonly provided through
Cloud Computing as Software as a Service. However,
the Cloud paradigm requires the end user’s to
trust their service providers. Nowadays companies
provide infrastructure facilities such as storage space,
processing capacity, applications, etc., for user’s and
companies. When confidential information of user’s
or that of a company is stored on such remote places
there are chances of security breaches. This fact
discourages companies and users to adopt to cloud
services. To counter this drawback, in this paper we
propose a solution for this problem by providing an
additional user layer for Microsoft Azure Documents.
In our paper, we have used a supplement layer to the
existing user layer in the browser. This layer encrypts
the data before storing it on the server. Accessing the
information is impossible without the right password.
