Introduction
In recent years, the use of cloud computing has become increasingly popular due to its scalability, cost-effectiveness, and flexibility. However, as organizations increasingly adopt multi-cloud environments to meet their diverse needs, the security of data shared across these environments has become a major concern. The ability to securely share data between different cloud providers is crucial for ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of sensitive information.
This thesis aims to address the challenges associated with secure data sharing in multi-cloud environments. By examining the existing literature, identifying key issues, and proposing practical solutions, this research seeks to enhance the security of data shared across multiple cloud providers.

Thesis Overview on Secure Data Sharing in Multi-Cloud Environments
As organizations increasingly adopt multi-cloud environments to meet their diverse needs, the security of data shared across these environments has become a major concern. The ability to securely share data between different cloud providers is crucial for ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of sensitive information. This thesis aims to address the challenges associated with secure data sharing in multi-cloud environments by examining the existing literature, identifying key issues, and proposing practical solutions to enhance data security.
Chapter One provides an introduction to the topic, background information, problem statement, objectives of the study, limitations, scope, significance, structure of the thesis, and definition of terms. Chapter Two presents a comprehensive literature review on cloud computing, multi-cloud environments, data security, encryption techniques, access control mechanisms, key management, data integrity, data availability, and best practices for secure data sharing. Chapter Three outlines the research methodology, including research design, data collection methods, data analysis techniques, sample selection, ethical considerations, pilot study, data validation, and limitations of the study.
Chapter Four discusses the findings of the research, analyzing data security challenges, evaluating encryption techniques, comparing access control mechanisms, assessing key management strategies, examining data integrity measures, reviewing data availability solutions, and implementing best practices for secure data sharing. Chapter Five concludes the thesis by summarizing the findings, discussing contributions to the field, implications for practice, recommendations for future research, and concluding remarks on secure data sharing in multi-cloud environments.
