Abstract

Cloud computing environments need robust and adaptive security mechanisms against the ever-evolving cyber threats. Accordingly, this work proposes an innovative framework of Context-Aware Encryption Key Generation for Real-Time Mitigation in Zero-Trust Cloud Security. This incorporates an efficient Quantum Holographic Fusion Encryption (QHFE) algorithm with an Adaptive Multi-Layer Holographic Reduction and Optimisation (AMHCO) technique. The QHFE algorithm takes advantage of the holographic fusion principles to dynamically generate intrusion attempts. Complementing this, AMHCO enhances resilience against advanced intrusion attempts. Furthermore, AMHCO optimises cryptographic operations by means of hierarchical compression and dynamic resource allocation, thus enabling performance-efficient scalability in heterogeneous cloud infrastructures. Therefore, the experiments conducted herein employed the Kaggle cloud security dataset that contains named threat events along with contextual telemetry data. For that, the evaluation of traditional algorithms, such as AES, ECC, RC6, and PBKDF, was found to have mediocre accuracy. In this respect, the proposed framework reduced encryption latency while maintaining scalable performance across heterogeneous cloud workloads. Introduce QHFE for dynamic, context-aware key generation. Propose an efficient AMHCO for multi-layer optimisation of cryptographic operations. The experimental evaluation demonstrates a 95.6% accuracy in real-time threat detection and mitigation, performing conventional encryption models. The proposed approach not only supports zero-trust but also establishes a foundation for next-generation cloud security solutions that are context-aware, adaptive and quantum resilient.
