Abstract:

This study introduces an innovative Hybrid cryptographic model, which seamlessly integrates a honeycomb access mechanism with lattice-based encryption algorithms aimed at enhancing cloud security and addressing emerging quantum threats. The Hybrid model represents a significant leap forward from traditional Lattice encryption methods, as demonstrated by comprehensive simulations. It achieves a commendable success rate of 90.15%, boasting lower variability (1.72% standard deviation) compared to Lattice encryption’s 94.99% success rate with higher variability (2.93%). Operationally, the Hybrid model excels in providing consistent performance and faster processing times, making it a more efficient choice for cryptographic operations. Moreover, its cost-effectiveness is evident, with operational costs ranging from 0.862 to 7.24 microdollars for encryption and 0.871 to 7.29 microdollars for decryption. Furthermore, the energy consumption of both models is maintained within the practical range of 1.35 to 3.46 joules, highlighting the Hybrid model’s suitability. This research underscores the Hybrid model’s potential to safeguard cloud computing environments against advanced quantum attacks, offering a promising solution that strikes a balance between performance, cost-effectiveness, and energy efficiency. In an era where quantum computing poses a significant threat to traditional encryption, the Hybrid cryptographic model emerges as a robust and practical alternative, capable of fortifying cloud security while maintaining operational efficiency and affordability.
