A Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange Algorithm: Improving Cloud Data Security

Cloud Data Security

Abstract

Cloud computing has altered IT operations by providing scalable and flexible access to computing resources over the Internet, allowing organizations to save money using shared equipment, software, and data. However, its decentralized nature raises serious security issues, leaving sensitive data open to external attacks and internal weaknesses. Traditional security solutions frequently fall short, demanding stronger cryptographic techniques. This study looks into using the Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange Algorithm (DHKEA) to improve cloud data security. DHKEA provides a secure means for exchanging cryptographic keys across public networks, protecting data during transmission and reducing the dangers associated with unwanted access. The study compares the security, scalability, and performance benefits of DHKEA to existing encryption approaches, emphasizing its capacity to strengthen cloud defences while remaining efficient. DHKEA contributes to regulatory compliance by providing a secure data protection framework, such as the CCPA and GDPR. The research intends to provide a strong defence-in-depth approach that tackles current security holes and makes practical suggestions for DHKEA deployment, eventually securing vital resources and assuring business continuity in cloud environments.
