Description

This critically examines the essential role of access control and key management techniques in ensuring secure communication within cloud environments. With the rapid adoption of cloud computing, the need to safeguard sensitive data from unauthorized access and breaches has become paramount.

Access control mechanisms play a pivotal role in regulating user permissions and enforcing restrictions on resource utilization. By employing authentication, authorization, and auditing mechanisms, these controls prevent unauthorized entry and mitigate potential security threats. Concurrently, effective key management is crucial for establishing and maintaining secure communication channels. Robust key generation, distribution, rotation, and revocation processes are integral to preserving data confidentiality and integrity.

The synergy between access control and key management forms a fundamental layer of cloud security. This research investigates their interplay and how they collectively contribute to fortifying the cloud ecosystem against cyber threats. By shedding light on the intricacies of these techniques, the study offers insights that can inform the design and implementation of comprehensive security frameworks, bolstering the protection of sensitive information and ensuring the trustworthiness of cloud-based interactions.
