In recent years, there has been an enormous change in cloud computing technologies. The concept of cloud computing, or pay-as-you-use models, has caused many businesses to move into a new dimension. There are many cloud-based applications and cloud storage services which exist on the market, e.g. Dropbox, but the security of saved documents in Dropbox is a significant challenge. The focus of this thesis is on the improvement of extended security in Dropbox by adding two encryption methods. Encryption methods AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) and RSA (Rivest, Shamir and Adelman) have been viewed as the most suitable methods for cloud-based applications, and this thesis demonstrates that RSA is more secure than AES whereas AES performs better for larger data when compared with RSA.
