Abstract

Over the past two decades, the evolution of web services has profoundly transformed communication and information technologies. As computer programs that facilitate data exchange and interoperability between applications via the Internet, web services play a pivotal role in enabling seamless interactions and information access. However, despite their advantages, these platforms also introduce significant security risks. This study leverages the novel framework of Complex Cubic q-Rung Orthopair Fuzzy Sets (CCuqROFS) to model and address these security threats effectively. Unlike conventional models, CCuqROFS provides a robust structure that incorporates membership (M) and non-membership (NM) degrees, offering a more precise representation of uncertainty. Through illustrative examples, we introduce key concepts such as Complex Cubic q-Rung Orthopair Fuzzy Relations (CCuqROFR), the Cartesian product of CCuqROFSs, and various forms of CCuqROFRs. For the first time in fuzzy set theory, this work systematically examines the relationships between different security threats and countermeasures in web services. The proposed methodologies demonstrate how robust security measures can mitigate the impact of these threats. Finally, a comparative analysis underscores the advantages of our strategies, providing valuable insights for enhancing web service security.
