Abstract
Recent advancements in cloud computing have heightened concerns about data control and privacy due to vulnerabilities in traditional encryption methods, which may not withstand internal attacks from cloud servers. To overcome these issues about the data privacy and control of transfer on cloud, a novel three-tier storage model incorporating fog computing method has been proposed. This framework leverages the advantages of cloud storage while enhancing data privacy. The approach uses the Hash-Solomon code algorithm to partition data into distinct segments, distributing a portion of it across local machines and fog servers, in addition to cloud storage. This distribution not only increases data privacy but also optimises storage efficiency. Computational intelligence plays a crucial role by calculating the optimal data distribution across cloud, fog, and local servers, ensuring balanced and secure data storage.•Experimental analysis of this mathematical mode has demonstrated a significant improvement in storage efficiency, with increases ranging from 30 % to 40 % as the volume of data blocks grows.•This innovative framework based on Hash Solomon code method effectively addresses privacy concerns while maintaining the benefits of cloud computing, offering a robust solution for secure and efficient data management.
