In the internet era, the data storage sources are taken to a place where the user or enterprise has less control with respect to maintaining utilities, hardware, hypervisors and software applications. This place is called cloud which has many benefits like automatic resource scaling, sharing same resources with multiple tenants, billing similar to utilities, bringing various huge resources together and which can be accessed everywhere over the internet. However, cloud computing carries many risks along – like data security, infrastructure security, application security, jurisdictions based security and other daily operational based. In this research, security related to data in cloud has been considered where while moving or storing there is a chances of stealing it with various unauthorised manner. The proposal is to use encryption with multifactor authentication together which provides high security even will be double. The method of combining both technology is described with scope for further future enhancement. While is multifactor even there is a touch of using biometric as one component which is unbeatable in this time.
