Abstract:
Cloud backup services play a crucial role in modern data storage solutions, offering accessibility, scalability, and cost-effectiveness. However, security concerns such as unauthorized access, data breaches, and cyber threats have necessitated the implementation of multi-layered authentication and encryption protocols. This paper explores various security mechanisms used to enhance cloud backup security, focusing on multi-factor authentication (MFA), role-based access control (RBAC), symmetric and asymmetric encryption, and hybrid cryptographic models. We present a comparative analysis of existing security measures, discuss potential threats, and propose an improved framework integrating advanced cryptographic algorithms and multi-layered authentication strategies. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach in mitigating security risks while maintaining high performance and usability.

Keywords: Cloud Backup Security, Multi-Factor Authentication, Encryption Protocols, Cryptographic Models, Cybersecurity, Data Protection.
