• Abstract: This paper explores strategies for enhancing cloud security through encryption and digital forensic readiness. The adoption of cloud computing has brought unprecedented benefits to organizations but also introduces new security challenges. Encryption plays a crucial role in protecting data confidentiality and integrity within cloud environments. Various encryption techniques and key management practices are discussed, along with their implications for data privacy and regulatory compliance. Additionally, the paper examines the importance of digital forensic readiness in facilitating effective incident response and investigation in the cloud. Challenges associated with conducting digital forensics in cloud environments are addressed, and strategies for overcoming these challenges are proposed. By integrating encryption and digital forensic readiness into a cohesive security strategy, organizations can strengthen their resilience against emerging threats and maintain trust in their cloud-based operations.

  Homomorphic encryption (HE) is one solution for safeguarding data privacy, enabling encrypted data to be processed securely in the cloud. We propose an outsourced decryption protocol for the prevailing RLWE-based fully homomorphic encryption schemes. Our experiments demonstrate that the proposed protocol achieves up to a $67%$ acceleration in the client's local decryption, accompanied by a $50%$ reduction in space usage.
