Using Blockchain as a Tool for Cloud Data Security

Abstract

Blockchain technology has emerged as a potentially effective remedy for cloud computing security issues. Blockchain presents a revolutionary method for boosting data protection, access control, and transparency in cloud environments by introducing decentralized and immutable methods. The integration of blockchain into cloud security is explored in this study, emphasizing major benefits such the maintenance of data integrity through cryptographically linked transactions, effective identity management, and secure automation utilizing smart contracts. Examined is the possibility of authorized parties working together and sharing data under specified circumstances. However, difficulties with scaling, difficult integration, and energy usage are highlighted. Blockchain technology holds the potential to greatly enhance data security, attack resistance, and transparency in multi-cloud scenarios with careful planning and thought.
