Enhancing Cloud Communication Security Through Forward Secrecy Algorithms

This research study explores the implementation and evaluation of the forward secrecy algorithm in the context of cloud computing. Cloud services have become ubiquitous in various domains, necessitating robust security measures to safeguard sensitive data during transmission and storage. The forward secrecy algorithm presents a promising solution, combining asymmetric and symmetric key encryption to achieve data confidentiality and integrity, even in the face of session key com- promises. Through a comprehensive review of related literature, we identify gaps and limitations in existing approaches to cloud security. Our proposed algorithm is assessed using performance metrics, such as encryption and decryption times, key generation times, and throughput, in a simulated cloud environment with CloudSim. The results indicate significant enhancements in cloud security, with efficient communication and minimal overhead. By addressing challenges related to data privacy, multi-tenancy, compliance, and insider threats, the forward secrecy algorithm offers a robust defense against potential attacks and bolsters the overall security posture of cloud computing environments.
