Addressing Cloud Security Challenges through Blockchain Technology

Abstract

Cloud computing is the collection of computing services available through the internet. ICloud virtual services are provided to the user through data centres around the world via the internet. It is currently the base of most Internet applications. Email, web engines, interpersonal organizations, web-based media, and different administrations are currently facilitated in “the cloud”. The accelerated growth in this field by both private and public sectors globally has heightened the cyberattacks on stored user data. While cost and usability are the primary advantages of cloud computing, trust and security are the two top worries of clients of cloud administrations. Blockchain is known as Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT). It is an unalterable and transparent digital ledger that uses decentralization and cryptography for security and authentication. It is the future of security and privacy improvements in the IT industry as it provides integrity, authenticity, and confidentiality to all stored data. This paper attempts to understand the root cause of cloud security attacks along with a proposed solution using blockchain technology and various cryptographic algorithms.
