Secure Key Generation Schemes for Cloud Data Storage

The secure generation of cryptographic keys holds significant importance in safeguarding the confidentiality, authenticity, and integrity of data stored in the cloud. Traditionally, Key Generation Centers have been trusted with the task of generating partial private keys or private keys to the user, thereby requiring a user to trust a centralized third party. The primary objective focuses on identifying effective methods to enhance the security of key generation processes within existing systems. Additionally, the research takes a deeper look into the possible alternative approaches that eliminate the need for a centralized key generation authority. This study makes a significant contribution to the field of secure key generation by thoroughly examining security advancements within conventional systems. Moreover, it highlights the feasibility of trustless key generation, empowering organizations and individuals to implement more secure key generation mechanisms while reducing their reliance on centralized authorities.
