description Abstract The multimedia environment has undergone significant growth, particularly in the area of multimedia data and its migration to cloud platforms, which has raised issues about security, confidentiality, data integrity, and privacy protection. While Blockchain Distributed Ledger Technology (BDLT) offers decentralized trust and transparency the advent of Quantum Computing threatens classical cryptographic primitives, which make multimedia data increasingly vulnerable. This paper proposes a novel and secure framework that collaborates BDLT with quantum-resilient, mainly known post-quantum cryptographic schemes to ensure long-term data integrity and privacy preservation in cloud-based infrastructures. Due to this, the proposed solution enables secure, efficient, and transparent that helps in public auditing of multimedia content without compromising stakeholder confidentiality. It leverages Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs), lattice-based cryptography, and smart contract automation, which model fortifies data authenticity verification against quantum attacks. Simulation results illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed framework that achieves a 98.21% accuracy in data integrity verification, a 96.84% reduction in quantum vulnerability, and an 87.85% efficiency gain in auditing speed compared to classical BDLT-enabled platforms. In addition, privacy leakage in multimedia systems is reduced by 92.47% proving the framework’s robustness. This solution underscores the potential of synergizing BDLT, quantum secure cryptography, and cloud computing to build a future-proof solution for privacy-protected multimedia data management and public auditing.
