The Cost of Confidentiality in Cloud StorageHenziger, Eric January 2018 (has links)
Cloud storage services allow users to store and access data in a secure and flexible manner. In recent years, cloud storage services have seen rapid growth in popularity as well as in technological progress and hundreds of millions of users use these services to store thousands of petabytes of data. Additionally, the synchronization of data that is essential for these types of services stands for a significant amount of the total internet traffic. In this thesis, seven cloud storage applications were tested under controlled experiments during the synchronization process to determine feature support and measure performance metrics. Special focus was put on comparing applications that perform client side encryption of user data to applicationsthat do not. The results show a great variation in feature support and performance between the different applications and that client side encryption introduces some limitations to other features but that it does not necessarily impact performance negatively. The results provide insights and enhances the understanding of the advantages and disadvantages that come with certain design choices of cloud storage applications. These insights will help future technological development of cloud storage services.
