Post-Quantum Cryptography: A Fresh Way to Protect Data in Cloud Services

Abstract

This study seeks to apply Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) as a newly emerging essentially future secure means of transmitting data within cloud environments. The whole world got up in realization that with the advent of quantum computing, traditional encryption algorithms would be unscrambled. Therefore this proposed research is aimed at developing a quantum resistance security framework to ensure data availability, confidentiality, and integrity for multi-user cloud environments using PQC algorithms, hybrid encryption models, and blockchain-based trust mechanisms.
