Enhancing Cloud Security: A Hybrid Cryptographic Approach Combining AES and RSA for Optimal Data Protection

ABSTARCT: As technology develops, the cloud is turning into a repository for private information, making it increasingly vulnerable, especially as more people with bad motives get a hold of it. Data needs to be secure and safe because so many people use the cloud for various reasons. A new hybrid encryption process that combines symmetric and asymmetric cryptographic techniques to create a safe environment is proposed in this paper, which analyzes the well-known symmetric Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) method and the asymmetric Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA) method based on time complexity, space, resource, and power consumption. Based on experimental research, this report recommends that the RSA3DSA and DES cryptographic methods be used as the main strategy for data encryption activities in cloud applications.
