Abstract

The rapid expansion of digital infrastructure has made blockchain, the Internet of Things (IoT), and cloud computing indispensable. However, their widespread adoption has also introduced unprecedented cybersecurity threats. This paper explores the integration of advanced cryptographic techniques and threat mitigation strategies to enhance the security of these technologies. A comprehensive literature review evaluates existing security frameworks, emphasizing the need for novel cryptographic models to address vulnerabilities in distributed ledger systems, IoT networks, and cloud environments. The paper further presents data-driven insights, security models, and recommendations for fortifying these ecosystems against cyber threats.
