| Abstract: |
| Cloud environments are essential for modern computing, but are increasingly vulnerable to Side-Channel Attacks (SCAs), which exploit indirect information to compromise sensitive data. To address this critical challenge, we propose SecureCons Framework (SCF), a novel consensus-based cryptographic framework designed to enhance resilience against SCAs in cloud environments. SCF integrates a dual-layer approach combining lightweight cryptographic algorithms with a blockchain-inspired consensus mechanism to secure data exchanges and thwart potential side-channel exploits. The framework includes adaptive anomaly detection models, cryptographic obfuscation techniques, and real-time monitoring to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities proactively. Experimental evaluations demonstrate the framework's robustness, achieving over 95% resilience against advanced SCAs with minimal computational overhead. SCF provides a scalable, secure, and efficient solution, setting a new benchmark for side-channel attack mitigation in cloud ecosystems. |
