Abstract

Due to the exponential growth of cloud data and network services, computational resources and cloud data security have one of the most attractive research issues in the real-time cloud environment. Numerous types of cloud services are combined into various domain applications, including, e-health, defence, clinical databases, and so on, for data storage and resource computing. However, a traditional challenge to consider is that the Data Owner (DO) no longer has the ability to modify the access control policy or key policy, resulting in data sharing inflexibility, inefficiency, and key abusers. To address these concerns, we propose an enhanced d level cut-off point-Quantum Secret Sharing (EdLCp-QSS) scheme based on an efficient Monitoring Key Ciphertext-ABE (MKCABE) –access control with Blockchain and Key Controller (EQMBK) mechanism for security. The proposed EQMBK mechanism provides security for monitoring the data from getting accessed by un-authorized users as well as offers updating security when a new user joins the cloud environment. The proposed EQMBK system ensures that data is not accessible by unauthorised users and that security is updated when a new user joins the cloud environment. Finally, experimental simulation reveals that the suggested technique is very efficient in preserving the privacy of the user’s data against unauthorised parties in terms of computation time encryption time, system initialization time, key generation time, and decryption time. Furthermore, when compared to state-of-the-art techniques, the proposed methods are more resilient and provide greater performance.
