Abstract: One of the most crucial components of information technology infrastructure in the modern world is cloud data centers. Customers have access to these data centers' infrastructure and software, which enable them to store and process massive amounts of data. However, the security and protection of private data in cloud data centers is a serious problem that needs effective and c solutions. Security and privacy issues exist because cloud computing outsources the processing of sensitive data. Consumer worries about cloud infrastructure security remain, particularly those related to data privacy. A thorough analysis of research efforts in the area of cloud security is the main objective of this study. In order to do this, a variety of models were evaluated, their advantages and disadvantages were identified, and a viable security solution based on symmetric algorithms was put forth. The original text in the proposed solution (Hybrid encryption algorithm) is first encrypted using the faster symmetric key method AES, and then its key is encrypted using the faster asymmetric key scheme RSA. This increases efficiency and speed. This method will shorten the time required for data encryption while enhancing its security. The final step was implementing the desired solution in the Eclipse software environment and comparing it against the Blowfish and RSA algorithms. The evaluation's findings indicate that the solution is more advantageous, which has resulted in a nearly two-fold decrease in execution time and a marked increase in throughput when compared to the RSA algorithm. Additionally, the execution time has shrunk, and throughput has been vastly improved compared to the Blowfish method.
