Review of Encryption Techniques to Enhance Data Protection in Cloud
Keywords:
Cloud Security, cryptography, data protection, confidentialityAbstract
Cloud computing has become an essential source of data storage for both companies and individuals, making the protection of sensitive information increasingly necessary. The paper explores ways to protect data in the cloud through encryption, including symmetric, asymmetric, and hybrid encryption. Large-sized datasets can be handled quickly and effectively using symmetric encryption, like AES, while asymmetric encryption, like RSA, provides higher security using key pairs. Hybrid encryption combines these two methods, balancing speed and security for better protection. Advanced techniques like Proxy Re-Encryption (PRE) and Attribute-Based Encryption (ABE) help manage access control and scalability in cloud environments. This study examines the mentioned encryption methods, identifying challenges and proposing advancements to improve encryption solutions for cloud storage.
