Abstract: “Cloud computing has seen the fastest adoption due to its tremendous benefits to business organizations and individuals. However, ensuring the security level is essential as users often store sensitive information with Cloud storage providers who lack transparency within their policies. Dealing with single Cloud providers is becoming less popular with customers due to the risk of malicious insiders in a single Cloud. In this work, we propose a Web client application supporting secure storage approach primarily to guarantee confidentiality and integrity issues concerning data stored on a multi-Cloud environment. Hence, we present and discuss our Web application framework and its implementation. Besides, we evaluate this proposal by conducting several experiments for the Web application in a real multi-Cloud environment scenario.“
