Hybrid Cryptography in Cloud Computing

Abstract

Cloud computing has completely changed how people and organizations access and manage data and services. However, the centralized nature of the cloud storage and processing introduces significant security concerns, especially in the context of data privacy and confidentiality. Traditional cryptographic methods are often used to secure data in the cloud, but they may not provide the desired level of security and efficiency when used in isolation. Hybrid cryptography, a fusion of symmetric and asymmetric cryptography techniques, has emerged as a promising solution to address these challenges in cloud computing. This abstract explores the concept of hybrid cryptography in the context of cloud computing, highlighting its role in enhancing security while maintaining computational efficiency. The hybrid cryptography approach leverages the strengths of symmetric and asymmetric materials encryption methods. Symmetric encryption is well-known for its computational efficiency, making it suitable for encrypting large volumes of data in cloud storage. Asymmetric encryption, on the other hand, excels in secure key exchange and authentication, vital components in cloud computing scenarios where multiple parties need access to encrypted data.
