API Gateway Cloud, Security, Authentication and Data ProtectionAbstract
This paper proposes an approach to design a secure API gateway for cloud services to improve the security, scalability and performance of cloud-based applications. These components include: authentication component, role-based access control component, data validation component, encryption component and real time monitoring component. Since the use of a Zero Trust model and the application of threat detection at a much higher level the framework provides secure protection from threats, such as unauthorized access, data leakage, and DoS. The research also involves gap identification evaluation of API gateway tools and implementation strategies and testing protocols with a view of making a detailed solution to security threats in today’s complex cloud infrastructure.
