Abstract: The hybrid approach used in this paper aims to improve online application security. Homographic encryption and squirrel search algorithm (SSA) are combined to create this hybrid. The cloud computing model's security improved with the use of this technique. In order to improve the security of cloud data using an encryption method, this study suggests a hybrid algorithm. Utilising encryption methods is primarily done to protect or keep vast amounts of data in cloud. To improve secure data storage in cryptography, the SSA is designed in a cloud computing environment. Performance measures, including uploading time, downloading time, decryption time and encryption time, are measured in MATLAB to test the success of suggested methods. To evaluate the proposed methodology, tweet data is considered in the proposed methodology. The proposed methodology is contrasted with current approaches, like Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA) and ECC-based cryptography, in order to evaluate it.

Keywords: cloud computing; encryption; decryption; web application; squirrel search algorithm; homographic encryption.
