Now securing data in the cloud has become more complicated. In cloud environments, the data security based on the concept of authentication using cryptographic techniques is being checked. In addition to traditional encryption methods, quantum cryptography is gaining popularity and uses the concepts of quantum physics for the encryption of data. The Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) that quantum cryptography brings enhanced security, as it provides resistance against many of the prevailing cyber threats. This paper introduces the Secure Quantum Key Distribution (SQKD-CDS) for cloud data security, a new simulation framework. This method encrypts user data through non-Abelian encryption (NAE) for which strong data protection is provided. The Quantum Key also provides data on cloud servers with easy access. Quantum methods are used to efficiently distribute this key among nodes. The proposed cloud simulator is used to determine the effectiveness of the proposed simulation model. The obtained results revealed that the SQKD-CDS algorithm was quite efficient in comparison to the traditional security visualization algorithm, both in terms of time complexity and computational requirements.

Enhancing Cloud Security with Secure Quantum Key Distribution (SQKD-CDS) for Data Protection

Kanegonda Ravi Chythanya, Ch. Srinivasa Reddy, Pallavi Shetty +3 more

This research develops SQKD-CDS as a Secure Quantum Key Distribution for Cloud Data Security model which strengthens cloud information protection. NAE and QKD technologies work together in the model to establish secure key-sharing and encryption systems. QKD transmits secret keys by quantum principles through secure channels to stop eavesdropping because of Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. The encryption method applies non-commutative cryptographic structures which create a higher level of security protection. A secret key created through the Diffie-Hellman algorithm allows cloud administration personnel to authenticate with their users during mutual verification. The CloudSim tool proves that SQKD-CDS improves safety levels while shortening encryption and decryption processes along with enhancing storage capacity utilization. SQKD-CDS demonstrates superior performance through its lower QBER and faster key group times which reach 24.7 ms when implementing 50 files. The model provides protection against denial-of-service occurrences as well as man-in-the-middle breaches. SQKD-CDS reducing memory consumption to 135.5 KB while showing improved security characteristics to be considered as a quantum cryptographic solution for storing cloud data safely.

A Novel Multi-Qubit Quantum Key Distribution Ciphertext-Policy Attribute-Based Encryption Model to Improve Cloud Security for Consumers

Kranthi Kumar Singamaneni, Ghulam Muhammad, Zulfiqar Ali

With the growing adoption of cloud computing, ensuring data security in cloud environments has become a critical concern for business organizations. Quantum cryptography utilizes the principles of quantum mechanics to guarantee secure communication, as any attempt to eavesdrop will change the quantum states, alerting the parties of the intrusion. This paper proposes a multi-qubit Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) ciphertext-policy attribute-based encryption (CP-ABE) for cloud security. The proposed multi-qubit QKD model for secure cloud data using quantum cryptography involves the use of a quantum key distribution protocol to generate a secure key for encryption and decryption. This protocol involves sending quantum signals through a quantum channel to distribute a secret key between the sender and the receiver. The key is then used for the encryption and decryption of data using the CP-ABE technique. This technique allows the encryption and decryption of data based on attributes rather than an explicit key exchange, making it particularly suitable for cloud environments where data is stored and processed by multiple users with varying levels of access. The positive results from the proposed simulation model suggest the potential of quantum cryptography in securing cloud data.
