Abstract

Big Data and Cloud Computing architectures have changed the face of modern data analytics, but they also present serious security risks, risk of unauthorized access, and serious privacy issues during the processing, storage, and transmission of sensitive, high-dimensional data sets. Typical individual privacy preserving techniques, including pure noise addition (Differential Privacy) and computationally demanding cryptographic methods (Homomorphic Encryption), and local decentralized methods (Federated Learning) are often unable to be used individually because of basic compromises between privacy levels, system processing speed and analytical value. To address these single-point structural and vulnerabilities to advanced inference attacks, this thesis introduces a novel comprehensive Multi-Layer Privacy-Preserving Framework (MLPPF) that systematically integrates Differential Privacy (DP), Homomorphic Encryption (HE), and Federated Learning (FL) into a single architecture. The potential benefits of the proposed framework include multiple levels of privacy protection, achieved by implementing differential noise application during data preprocessing, cryptographic security during cross-node computations, and privacy-preserving model aggregation during collaborative execution, along with the reduction of unnecessary communication overhead. The empirical studies have been carefully designed to evaluate the predictive model accuracy, data utility, and operational scalability across a variety of real-world benchmark datasets, ranging from complex medical records to sensitive financial fraud signals to high-frequency transactional logs, among others, and show that the hybrid MLPPF approach consistently maintains high predictive model accuracy, strong data utility, and superior operational scalability with provable mathematical guarantees of privacy against sophisticated adversarial attacks.
