Abstract

En 中文
Cloud storage continues to experience recurring provider-side breaches, raising concerns about the confidentiality and recoverability of user data. This study addresses this challenge by introducing an Artificial Intelligence (AI)-driven hybrid architecture for secure, reconstruction-resistant multi-cloud storage. The system applies telemetry-guided fragmentation, where fragment sizes are dynamically predicted from real-time bandwidth, latency, memory availability and disk I/O, eliminating the predictability of fixed-size fragmentation. All payloads are compressed, encrypted with AES-128 and dispersed across independent cloud providers, while two encrypted fragments are retained within a VeraCrypt-protected local vault to enforce a distributed trust threshold that prevents cloud-only reconstruction. Synthetic telemetry was first used to evaluate model feasibility and scalability, followed by hybrid telemetry integrating real Microsoft system traces and Cisco network metrics to validate generalization under realistic variability. Across all evaluations, XGBoost and Random Forest achieved the highest predictive accuracy, while Neural Network and Linear Regression models provided moderate performance. Security validation confirmed that partial-access and cloud-only attack scenarios cannot yield reconstruction without the local vault fragments and the encryption key. These findings demonstrate that telemetry-driven adaptive fragmentation enhances predictive reliability and establishes a resilient, zero-trust framework for secure multi-cloud storage.
