Abstract
In this paper, FuzzyDedup-Chain, a new unified framework, is presented to combine adaptive block-level deduplication, Fuzzy Identity-Based Encryption with Proxy Re-Encryption (Fuzzy IBE-PRE), and blockchain-based auditing to achieve better efficiency, security, and transparency of cloud data management. Conventional cloud systems find it hard to optimize storage, provide flexible access control and auditability akin to the impregnable qualities of the Tasers. In order to overcome these shortcomings, the given architecture proposes an Adaptive-Flat-Block-Deduplication (AFBD) mechanism that dynamically chooses the best block size to minimize redundancy without causing a high cryptographic overhead. It has a Selective-Re-Encryption (SR-PRE) mechanism to delegate access rights by re-encrypting only metadata reference not an entire data block, which greatly lowers the re-encryption latency. More so, a PoNR protocol-backed by a blockchain guarantees clear and verifiable reporting of deduplication efficiency without revealing plaintext content. The audit layer uses aggregate digital signatures; this allows scalability of storage events and verification that is tamper proof. The combination of these elements forms secure, efficient, and auditable cloud architecture that can handle the current threats, minimizes the cost of storage, and fine-grained access control. The suggested model can be regarded as a full-fledged solution to the next-generation cloud-based environments that require operational efficiency and solid security assurances.
