In the era of 6G, data safety and confidentiality are gravely threatened by the rise of dense cloud computing. The rise of high-density cloud computing has put previously unimaginable data processing, storage, as well as analytics capabilities within arms' reach. To make the most of data collected by sensors in different places, new 6G intelligence apps' training processes are in sync with federated-learning paradigm. Because of high density cloud computing, distributed systems with hundreds or thousands of nodes can be deployed. This has potential to significantly impact data safeguarding and safety policy since it increases likelihood of harm to system from malicious actors. Encryption, access control, and defence lawyers are more advanced security techniques that are needed to keep confidential data safe in this environment. Encryption adds on another level of security by making it more difficult for those without permission to view information. Utilizing Secretary Bird optimization approach, optimal encryption key is selected. While access control prevents unauthorized users from reaching specific regions of system, defensive layers identify and thwart malicious attempts. This study suggests that 6G networks' data protection and security management could be improved with high density cloud computing. In order to address security concerns raised by encrypted data's lack of transparency, this paper proposes a mechanism for identifying data attacks on 6G intelligence apps that employ secure aggregation methods based on encryption. Our suite of encrypted data auditing solutions can protect you from data poisoning, incorrect data aggregation, and illegal data sources. On top of that, after evaluating a plethora of intriguing technologies, to have assessed each one and recommended optimal security practices for specific 6G scenarios.
