Abstract

This paper presents a cloud-based security and integrity framework that utilizes the KEP protocol, a three-party authentication protocol, to secure and authenticate data. The protocol includes a secure session key and auditor's authentication, and extensive documentation related to its implementation phase is available, including scientific experiments. Results of security tests, displayed in results, demonstrate that the KEP protocol is cost-effective and capable of withstanding various security concerns. Furthermore, it is significantly faster than existing methods in terms of computation time for authentication and encryption functions. Future work aims to increase the number of authentication points and further minimize computation time. Overall, the proposed KEP protocol provides sufficient safeguards against security breaches and is significantly less expensive than other alternatives.
