One of the pioneer and important fields in the computer science area is cloud computing. The data within cloud computing are usually transformed to it from local storage; therefore, the security of this data is an important issue. To solve this data security issue, it is important that cloud service providers (CSPs) store encrypted versions of user data. Before transmitting data to the cloud provider, it was encrypted using traditional encryption schemes. Nevertheless, for these schemes, the private key must be provided to the server to be used for the decryption on the other side before any calculations, yielding a security risk and issue for the cloud data. Homomorphic encryption provides a capable solution to this issue since it enables calculations on encrypted data with no need to be decrypted and the private encryption key is not compromised. A new fully homomorphic encryption scheme to protect cloud data is proposed in this paper, it is called NAZUZ. The NAZUZ scheme is based on prime modular operations and encrypts messages by operating on each character without converting them to binary. NAZUZ security relies on the difficulty of factoring large integer numbers and introduces noise complexity to the plaintext through the number of CSP users.
