Abstract
A secure data storage solution fragments encrypted data and distributes it across multiple cloud providers, increasing data protection by preventing any single cloud provider from accessing the complete data. Using cryptographic techniques such as Shamir's Secret Sharing or Reed-Solomon coding, the system divides the encrypted data into multiple independent fragments, each of which is stored separately. Each fragment alone is insufficient to reconstruct the original data, and only a minimum threshold of fragments is required for reassembly. By distributing fragments across diverse cloud providers, the invention mitigates risks associated with single-provider failures or breaches. The system employs secure communication protocols to protect fragments during transmission and monitors the integrity of each fragment in its respective storage location, ensuring both data confidentiality and availability. This fragmentation and multi-cloud distribution method offers enhanced security and reliability for sensitive data stored in distributed cloud environments.
