Abstract: The broad usage of images in real-time applications demands a cloud infrastructure due to its advantages. Many use cases are built where the image data is shared, sharing becomes the core function, and the medical domain takes its broad advantage. The cloud is a centralized infrastructure for its all-operation usages; it depends mainly on the trusted third party to handle security concerns. Therefore, the privacy preservation of the image data or any data becomes an issue of concern. The distrusted system advantages are achieved using blockchain technology for image data security and privacy concerns. The traditional approaches of the security and privacy models raise many apprehensions as these are designed on the centralized systems of the data sharing mechanisms. It is also observed that large data files are not wisely handled, which demands building a framework model that takes image data and any other data of any size to ensure a dependable optimal security system. This paper presents a framework model to achieve optimal time complexity for securing the privacy aspects of the image data or any other data that uses space optimal file system using distributed security mechanism for both the storage and sharing of the data. The proposed framework model for optimal time complexity and security uses a duplication algorithm using stakeholder agreement to ensure efficient access control to the resources using the cryptographic approach to the Ethereum ecosystem. The performance metric used in the model evaluation includes the degree of availability and efficiency. On benchmarks, it performs well compared to the traditional cloud-built distributed systems. The quantified outcome of the proposed scheme exhibits a 42.5% of reduction in time for data repositioning, a 41.1% of reduction in time for data retrieval, a 34.8% of reduction in operational cost, a 73.9% of reduction in delay, and a 61% faster algorithm execution time in contrast to conventional blockchain method.
