Abstract: Abstract This paper proposes an effective quantum computing method that integrates secure cloud access and quantum key distribution (QKD) to ensure secure access to cloud resources. The proposed method employs a quantum circuit to implement a secure cloud access protocol that utilizes QKD to distribute a secret key between the cloud user and the service provider. The secret key encrypts all parties’ access requests, response messages, and data. The security of the proposed method is analyzed against various types of attacks, including intercept-resend, man-in-the-middle, and eavesdropping. The simulation results indicate that the proposed method offers significant protection against such attacks. It can potentially provide a secure cloud access platform for various applications, including sensitive data storage, healthcare data management, and other applications that require a high level of security.
