Abstract:
The use of cloud computing has become ubiquitous in today's world due to its flexibility,
scalability, and cost-effectiveness. However, with the increasing amount of data being stored
and processed in the cloud, the need for secure data transmission and storage has become a
major concern. Cryptography is a well-known technique used for securing data, and it has
been widely adopted in the cloud computing domain. In recent years, cloud scalability has
become a critical factor for businesses to handle the enormous amount of data being
generated. The combination of cloud cryptography with cloud scalability can provide a more
robust and secure solution for cloud computing. This paper presents a comprehensive review
of the current state of research in the field of cloud cryptography and cloud scalability, and
the benefits of combining these two technologies .The paper also discusses the challenges
that need to be addressed while implementing cloud cryptography with cloud scalability, such
as key management, performance, and cost .Finally, the paper highlights the future research
directions in the field of cloud cryptography and cloud scalability, which can potentially
transform the way cloud computing is currently being utilized. The integration of cloud
cryptography with cloud scalability can lead to more secure, efficient, and scalable cloud
computing environments, which can benefit individuals and businesses alike.
