Exploring Cryptographic Paradigms for Secure Cloud Computing

Abstract

Cloud computing is a significant step forward for information technology since it enables elastic and immediate access to a variety of computer resources. However, protecting sensitive data and keeping computations private while it is stored on cloud should continue to be a key priority. Cryptographic paradigms have emerged as an essential resource for addressing these problems and establishing secure cloud computing environments. This study investigates the many cryptographic paradigms that might be utilized to make cloud storage more secure. In this article, various cryptographic paradigms, including homomorphic encryption, secure multiparty computing (MPC), attribute-based encryption (ABE), verifiable computation (VC), and privacy-preserving data mining, are examined, along with their advantages, disadvantages, and potential applications in the future. In addition, open research questions, possible directions for the future, and practical considerations regarding the deployment of cryptographic algorithms in the cloud are discussed. By providing a comprehensive understanding of cryptographic paradigms in secure cloud computing, this research article aims to assist cloud service providers, researchers, and practitioners in making educated decisions regarding selecting and implementing cryptographic techniques to enhance cloud security.
