Cloud as a storage in the recent technological development had been focused by researchers, since it offers more insight towards meta-data based security and safety along with techniques in encryption and decryption of messages. “Data” being a crucial and complicated means-of-information in current technological era, it has been majorly accessed and utilized for varied purposes (example: image storage/access) by people globally through ‘cloud computing’ via social platforms, personal data-storage, professional data-accumulation, research based studies, etc. Thus to protect data in cloud, especially the images, the current study developed the algorithm by combining ‘AES’ and ‘Fernet’ where double-level encryption with CNN Auto-Encoders. Thus by developing the model, the study aims to provide more secured cloud computing model than existing models. The original images as input are processed, encrypted/decrypted, converted into bitmap images as outputs that are decrypted by users with ‘key’ when needed. The study was a success and found to be effective in image encryption field with high RMSE (0.040206), less MSE-Loss (0.001616) and MAE (0.0266323) scores than estimated scores.

Thus by developing the model, the study aims to provide more secured cloud computing model than existing models. The original images as input are processed, encrypted/decrypted, converted into bitmap images as outputs that are decrypted by users with ‘key’ when needed. The study was a success and found to be effective in image encryption field with high RMSE (0.040206), less MSE-Loss (0.001616) and MAE (0.0266323) scores than estimated scores.
