In today’s world cloud computing is very commonly used method for accessing dynamically configurable and shared resources through the computer network when required, so there is constant threat to data. Security can be provided using Cryptography but the drawback of cryptography is that it confirms the presence of some important file which is encrypted using an algorithm. This research focuses on a methodology called Steganography is used. Basically steganography is an approach to hide a confidential message/file into a unconfidential(cover) image/file in a particular way in which the cover should stay as it was in the older version. So to the attacker it would seem like a normal file rather than an important one. Along with Steganography the fingerprint Biometric technology has been used to secure the data. As in fingerprint authentication system the accuracy is very high along with some other factors such as ease of use, small storage requirement, most economical etc. The Hackers had the capability to crack the older simple passwords as they can be easily hacked, so the data was not much secured. Hence to protect the data on cloud and prevent them from attacks we are using the concept of Steganography along with Fingerprint authentication technique.
