Post-Quantum Cryptography Security with CSPM for Secure Data Transmission in Cloud Environments

Quantum computing poses a significant threat to traditional cryptographic systems, necessitating the exploration of robust alternatives to secure data transmission in the cloud. This abstract delves into the integration of Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) and Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) as a comprehensive solution. The proposed framework advocates for the adoption of a variant of the McEliece cryptosystem within the cloud infrastructure, providing resistance against potential quantum attacks. Encryption, fortified by Post-Quantum Cryptography, emerges as the dominant method for ensuring the security of cloud-stored data. In parallel, Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) is introduced as a set of security protocols designed to identify and remediate cloud misconfigurations, enhancing the overall security posture. This research highlights the synergy between PQC and CSPM, showcasing their collective effectiveness in mitigating emerging threats in cloud computing. The integration of Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) further enhances data security, ensuring the confidentiality and integrity of transmitted information. The proposed model not only addresses current data breach challenges but also anticipates the evolving landscape of quantum computing, providing a forward-looking solution for secure data transmission in cloud environments.
