Content Delivery Network (CDN) on clouds normally communicate with authenticated subscribers using HTTPS to provide privacy and data integrity. The SSL private key is the most critical component in secure communication, and it can be even more important than the protected content itself. Here the key challenge is how to provide security guarantees so that the SSL private key and the content can be stored onto untrusted public clouds. To solve this issue, keys are generated in Key Distribution Centre(KDC) using Elliptic Curve Cryptographic algorithm and the private key will be hidden even to the CDN and cached or stored in the Key Sub-Centres. Only when decrypting the content or any request from the user, CDN will get the private key cached from the Key Sub-Centres. This type of key management approach in our paper is named as Effective Hierarchical Key Management System. In this system session keys will also be generated for further authentication. In this project a web application will be developed, with a dummy CDN(i.e. Content Delivery Network and KDC(Key Distribution Centre) in that users can be registered, registered users alone will be able to request the CDN and the private key will be secured in the KDC. Once this key authentication gets success user can be able to manage his files in the cloud like upload files to the cloud or download file from the cloud.
