Abstract: With the increasing prominence of data security in cloud storage, we propose a practical and robust cloud storage scheme, which uses quantum random numbers as encryption keys, disperses the keys using Shamir’s secret sharing scheme, applies erasure coding to the ciphertext, and securely transmits the data through quantum key distribution protected networks to the distributed clouds. This system offers several key advantages, including quantum-level security, fault tolerance, and storage space saving. To validate its feasibility, we conduct comprehensive experimental tests covering essential functionalities such as encryption/decryption, key preservation, and data storage. By successfully demonstrating the effectiveness of our proposal, we aim to accelerate the application of quantum technology in cloud storage.
