Cryptography for Cloud Computing and Iot
Cryptography plays a crucial role in securing both cloud computing and IoT (Internet of Things) environments, where data is often transmitted and stored across distributed systems and devices. Here's how cryptography is applied in both domains: Cloud Computing: Data Encryption: Cloud service providers (CSPs) use encryption to protect data both in transit and at rest. This ensures that even if unauthorized users gain access to the data, they cannot decipher it without the proper cryptographic keys. Secure Communication Protocols: Cryptographic protocols like SSL/TLS are used to establish secure connections between clients and cloud servers, preventing eavesdropping and data tampering during transmission. Identity and Access Management (IAM): Cryptography is employed in authentication and authorization mechanisms, such as digital signatures and public-key infrastructure (PKI), to verify the i...
