Elevating Quantum-Enhanced Security: Pioneering Advances for Cloud Computing Environments
Devulapally Swetha, Shaik Khaja Mohiddin · 2025
Robust security is vital in cloud computing due to the proliferation of sensitive data. This paper presents an innovative quantum-based security framework to address emerging threats. Measurement-Device-Independent Quantum Key Distribution (MDI-QKD) enhances data transmission security by establishing unhackable channels through quantum entanglement, ensuring data integrity. Quantum Homomorphic Encryption (QHE) enables secure computations on encrypted data, ensuring confidentiality during storage. The Quantum Secure Storage and Management Communication (QSSMC) protocol ensures end-to-end privacy and prevents unauthorized access throughout the cloud data lifecycle. Additionally, Quantum Random Number Generation (QRNG) leverages quantum uncertainty to generate truly random numbers, mitigating the risks of pseudo-randomness and strengthening cryptographic applications. By integrating MDI-QKD, QHE, QSSMC, and QRNG, this framework provides robust security, confidentiality, and data integrity. Implemented in Python with a scalability rate of 95%, it offers a comprehensive solution for modern cloud computing challenges.
