Abstract

Enhancement of security in cloud computing is challengeable when big data such as medical and government confidential information involves in a cloud environment.The managing key for individual user participated in the mobile cloud will be the problem when big data is handled without efficient security key management.Especially, mobile cloud nodes where users handle their data can be anywhere else in the cloud environment.So, managing keys for random users and finding correct locations of users" nodes and their identities are interesting areas for the research.To solve this problem related to key management, cloud services need efficient key management that employs quantum cryptography using Grover"s algorithm.Moreover, in this research, we introduce effective authentication technique in order to improve the level of security (with minimum complexity) In this paper, theoretical model, Grover"s algorithm and quantum cryptography with the PairHand protocol are considered as methodologies.As summarized results, security levels of users and services providers are considered to verify the services used in a cloud environment.In spite of same quantum properties characterize the light, data security issues are still not matured with the light technology.Hiding the big data in the light through this research methodology will be the conclusion of the future security.

Big Data Security Issues Based on Quantum Cryptography and Privacy with Authentication for Mobile Data Center

Vijey Thayananthan, Aiiad Ahmad Albeshri

Enhancement of security and privacy in mobile data centers is challengeable with efficient security key management. In order to solve this problem, data centers need efficient quantum cryptography using Grover's algorithm and authentication technique which are appropriate approaches to enhance the security and privacy with less complexity. In this research, quantum cryptography with the PairHand protocol seems to be a better approach. In future, light which has same quantum properties will be the best approach because people can see only the light not the data. So, light based on quantum cryptography and PairHand protocols will be the best for this research.

Advancing Quantum Cryptography Algorithms for Secure Data Storage and Processing in Cloud Computing: Enhancing Robustness Against Emerging Cyber Threats

Devulapally Swetha, Shaik Khaja Mohiddin

The rise of cloud computing has transformed data storage and processing but introduced new vulnerabilities, especially with the impending threat of quantum computing. Traditional cryptographic methods, though currently effective, are at risk of being compromised by quantum attacks. This research aims to develop a quantum-resistant security framework for cloud environments, combining lattice-based cryptography with Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) protocols, particularly the E91 protocol, for secure key management. The framework also incorporates quantum authentication protocols to enhance user identity verification, protecting against unauthorized access and tampering. The proposed solution balances robust security with practical implementation, ensuring scalability and efficiency in real-world cloud environments. Performance evaluations indicate an encryption time of approximately 30 milliseconds, outperforming existing methods such as RSA and DES. This research contributes to the development of future-proof cryptographic standards, addressing both current security challenges and emerging quantum computing threats. By leveraging quantum mechanics, the framework strengthens cloud-based data protection, providing a resilient solution against evolving cyber risks. The results hold significant promise for advancing cloud security, laying the groundwork for next-generation encryption techniques that can withstand the threats posed by quantum computing.

A quantum cryptography security model in mobile cloud computing is proposed in this paper, so as to achieve highly-secure data and privacy cryptography in mobile cloud computing environment. In the model, quantum keys are distributed to users' phones through two phases. Firstly, existing classical optical network has been transformed as quantum distribution network conveniently through multiplexing technique, the BB84 quantum key distribution protocol realized based on decoy state is adopted; Then, the security authentication protocol based on the quantum keys and distance-bounding HKQ is put forward, and through the near field communication (NFC) technology, quantum keys are transmitted into the security storage area of users' phone in the trusted area; Mobile users can get access to data on the cloud through quantum secret keys, protecting users' data and privacy. Experiments in the real quantum cryptography environment prove the validity of the proposed QCMC model.

A Novel Scheme for Data Security in Cloud Computing using Quantum Cryptography

Geeta Sharma, Sheetal Kalra

Cloud computing manifests exceptional capacity to facilitate easy to manage, cost effective, flexible and powerful resources across the internet. Due to maximum and shared utilization of utilization of resources, cloud computing enhances the capabilities of resources. There is a dire need for data security in the wake of the increasing capabilities of attackers and high magnitude of sensitive data. Cryptography is employed to ensure secrecy and authentication of data. Conventional information assurance methods are facing increasing technological advances such as radical developments in mathematics, potential to perform big computations and the prospects of wide-ranging quantum computations. Quantum cryptography is a promising solution towards absolute security in cryptosystems. This paper proposes integration of Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm with quantum cryptography. The proposed scheme is robust and meets essential security requirements. The simulation results show that the Quantum AES produces complex keys which are hard to predict by adversaries than the keys generated by the AES itself.

Cloud computing technology is very useful in present day to day life, it uses the internet and the central remote servers to provide and maintain data as well as applications. Such applications in turn can be used by the end users via the cloud communications without any installation. Moreover, the end users’ data files can be accessed and manipulated from any other computer using the internet services. Despite the flexibility of data and application accessing and usage that cloud computing environments provide, there are many questions still coming up on how to gain a trusted environment that protect data and applications in clouds from hackers and intruders. This paper surveys the “keys generation and management” mechanism and encryption/decryption algorithms used in cloud computing environments, we proposed new security architecture for cloud computing environment that considers the various security gaps as much as possible. A new cryptographic environment that implements quantum mechanics in order to gain more trusted with less computation cloud communications is given.
