Implementation of Blockchain Technology to Enhance Data Security for Cloud Computing

Abstract

Cloud computing, the fastest-growing IT technology, offers flexibility and scalability with pay-per-use models, but it raises concerns about data security due to third-party storage and online accessibility. Effective cloud security measures are crucial for protecting user data. The Internet of Things (IoT) generates enormous amounts of data that must be efficiently processed and stored in the cloud. Blockchain technology enhances data security through its tamper-resistant distributed ledger and peer-to-peer networks, which allow any node with internet access to join or create networks. To protect sensitive data and maintain its integrity, it is crucial to implement robust encryption, privacy safeguards, access controls, identity management and confidentiality in both cloud and decentralized systems.
