Abstract : The major concerns that keep most organizations away from cloud computing are Security and information authenticity. People are wary about providing confidential information to unauthorized parties. Individuals or hackers may intercept and modify electronic documents. Using a password to encrypt data is risky because hackers can gain access to it and exploit it to steal data. As a result, this research provides a solution by building a model for protecting data in the cloud via a layered approach. To implement these concepts, a web system developed with PHP and MySQL was employed. The OODM technique was used for components in the system modules, allowing for easy coupling, decoupling, modification, encapsulation, and reuse, as well as easy maintainability. When compared to the previous system, which depended simply on passwords for authentication, the new technique developed produces a high level of data security.

Keywords : Data protection, Cloud computing, layered approach.
