Abstract
Cloud computing being a popular technology that enables on-demand access to shared computing resources over the internet, there are lot of concerns about data breaches and cyber threats, especially brute-force attacks. In order to protect the sensitive data from attackers, security algorithms are implemented in the cloud environments. In this project, we introduce a hybrid security algorithm by integrating Advanced Encryption Standard and Honey Encryption. It provides an extra layer of security for protecting the data in cloud computing. AES provides a strong, reliable layer of encryption for protecting data confidentiality. On the other hand, Honey encryption introduces an innovative security measure by generating a decoy data file for the original file, when the incorrect keys are provided by the user during the decryption process.
By using this approach, the cloud data is protected, ensuring that even if the attacker or hacker manages to attempt decryption, they encounter false outputs while the original data is being protected. By performing rigorous testing and analysis, this project addresses the existing vulnerabilities in cloud data protection by establishing a secure, efficient and scalable encryption and decryption process. This process sets a new standard for cloud computing data storage solutions.
