ABSTRACT

Network security protection focuses on ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected assets. Encryption is always the core technology to protect asset confidentiality, and encryption files can be decrypted mostly by using decryption keys. With the advancement of encryption technologies, attackers also skillfully utilize the inherent characteristics of encryption algorithms, which are difficult to crack. They transmit illegal and malicious information in a concealed manner and spread it extensively across the Internet. Nowadays, the traditional protection means are often misused by attackers to disseminate harmful information. This raises significant concerns about how to mitigate the negative impact of storing and transmitting illegal information on both organizations and society as a whole, which is a pressing issue in the field of cybersecurity. In light of the growing use of cloud computing technology, this paper proposes an architectural solution to efficiently decrypt illegal and malicious information, and interprets the business flow, which provides a new direction for entities to share decryption tools and techniques to the maximum extent.
