Ciphering of cloud computing environment based new intelligent quantum service

Abstract

Cloud computing environment is a new approach to the intelligent control of network communication and knowledge-based systems. It drastically guarantees scalability, on-demand, and pay-as-you-go services through virtualization environments. In a cloud environment, resources are provided as services to clients over the internet in the public cloud and over the intranet in the private cloud upon request. Resources’ coordination in the cloud enables clients to reach their resources anywhere and anytime. Guaranteeing the security in cloud environment plays an important role, as clients often store important files on remote trust cloud data center. However, clients are wondering about the integrity and the availability of their data in the cloud environment. So, many security issues, which pertinent to client data garbling and communication intrusion caused by attackers, are attitudinized in the host, network and data levels. In order to address these issues, this chapter introduces a new intelligent quantum cloud environment (IQCE), that entails both Intelligent Quantum Cryptography-as-a-Service (IQCaaS) and Quantum Advanced Encryption Standard (QAES). This intelligent environment poses more secured data transmission by provisioning secret key among cloud’s instances and machines. It is implemented using System Center Manager (SCM) 2012-R2, which in turn, installed and configured based on bare-metal Hyper-V hypervisor. In addition, IQCaaS solves the key generation, the key distribution and the key management problems that emerged through the online negotiation between the communication parties in the cloud environment.
