NEXT-GENERATION CRYPTOGRAPHIC ALGORITHMS FOR SECURING CLOUD DATA

Abstract

As cloud computing continues to dominate the technological landscape, securing cloud data has become an imperative concern. The vulnerability of sensitive data to cyberattacks, data breaches, and unauthorized access demands the adoption of advanced cryptographic techniques. This article explores the next-generation cryptographic algorithms that are shaping the future of cloud security. Key areas of focus include quantum-resistant encryption, homomorphic encryption for privacy-preserving computation, and the integration of blockchain technology for securing cloud data. The paper highlights the potential of these cutting-edge cryptographic solutions in mitigating the risks posed to cloud infrastructures, ensuring data integrity, and maintaining privacy across distributed platforms. Through comparative analysis, we evaluate the performance and scalability of these algorithms, providing insights into their practical implementation in cloud environments.
