Cloud Data Security through BB84 Protocol and Genetic Algorithm

Abstract

In the current digitalized world, cloud computing becomes a feasible solution for the virtualization of cloud computing resources. Though cloud computing has many advantages to outsourcing an organization’s information, but the strong security is the main aspect of cloud computing. Identity authentication theft becomes a vital part of the protection of cloud computing data. In this process, the intruders violate the security protocols and perform attacks on the organizations or user’s data. The situation of cloud data disclosure leads to the cloud user feeling insecure while using the cloud platform. The different traditional cryptographic techniques are not able to stop such kinds of attacks. BB84 protocol is the first quantum cryptography protocol developed by Bennett and Brassard in the year 1984. In the present work, three ways BB84GA security systems have been demonstrated using trusted cryptographic techniques like an attribute-based authentication system, BB84 protocol, and genetic algorithm. Firstly, attribute-based authentication is used for identity-based access control and thereafter BB84 protocol is used for quantum key distribution between both parties and later the concept of genetic algorithm is applied for encryption/decryption of sensitive information across the private/public clouds. The proposed concept of involvement of hybrid algorithms is highly secure and technologically feasible. It is a unique algorithm which may be used to minimize the security threats over the clouds. The computed results are presented in the form of tables and graphs.

Hybrid optimized data aggregation for fog computing devices in internet of things

“…Kumar J, & Saxena V., 13 had presented the quality-of-service composition method that was based on Multi-Population GA (MPGA), IoT-Cloud architecture, and Fog-IoT computing. This resulted in the use of a 5-layered architecture that was implemented using a Fog computing system which was the transport layer.…”

Q-ECS: Quantum-Enhanced Cloud Security with Attribute-based Cryptography and Quantum Key Distribution

“…The device architecture protects against various types of assaults, such as intercepting responses, man-in-the-middle eavesdrop attacks, and impact endurance. Man-in-the-middle attacks occur when a hacker eavesdrops on a communication between an originator and a recipient and then uses that knowledge to trick one party into believing they are the other [25,26]. Ayat and Isa can promptly identify and dispose of any communication error resulting from an intruder's attempt to gain entry to the qubit, allowing QKD to prohibit sending its encrypted qubits to Isa over the channel.…”

Fuzzy Authentication System for Online Transaction Fraud Detection Using Geo Location

“…In this technology information is collected from credit card transaction data, online banking transaction data, customer's information and other types of transactional information. The Rivest, Shamir and Adleman (RSA) digital system is also used for secure online transaction 1 . The cracking by hackers of RSA digital system is still not reported in the literature but hackers have hacked the other types of algorithms which are used in the transaction of digital currency, hence it is a big challenge for the financial transaction to stay safe and also to avoid frauds.…”
