Enhanced secure storage and data privacy management system for big data based on multilayer model

As big data systems expand in scale and complexity, managing and securing sensitive data-especially personnel records-has become a critical challenge in cloud environments. This paper proposes a novel Multi-Layer Secure Cloud Storage Model (MLSCSM) tailored for large-scale personnel data. The model integrates fast and secure ChaCha20 encryption, Dual Stage Data Partitioning (DSDP) to maintain statistical reliability across blocks, k-anonymization to ensure privacy, SHA-512 hashing for data integrity, and Cauchy matrix-based dispersion for fault-tolerant distributed storage. A key novelty lies in combining cryptographic and statistical methods to enable privacy-preserving partitioned storage, optimized for distributed Cloud Computing Environments (CCE). Data blocks are securely encoded, masked, and stored in discrete locations across several cloud platforms, based on factors such as latency, bandwidth, cost, and security. They are later retrieved with integrity verification. The model also includes audit logs, load balancing, and real-time resource evaluation. To validate the system, experiments were tested using the MIMIC-III dataset on a 20-node Hadoop cluster. Compared to baseline models such as RDFA, SDPMC, and P&XE, the proposed model achieved a reduction in encoding time to 250 ms (block size 75), a CPU usage of 23% for 256 MB of data, a latency as low as 14 ms, and a throughput of up to 139 ms. These results confirm that the model offers superior security, efficiency, and scalability for cloud-based big data storage applications.
