Leveraging Blockchain for Secure Data Sharing and Cloud Computing: Implementing Distributed Timestamping with Machine Learning and Cryptographic Protocols

Abstract

In the last ten years-blockchain technology has changed a lot. It started as basic records shared across many computers and has become advanced networks that can do many things. Therefore, this study looks at how well blockchain systems can handle complex math problems for security. We focus on creating a system that puts timestamps on events. This method combines Schnorr signatures and Pedersen commitments. We use the Ethereum network to store and check data. The system uses a smart contract to manage data and connect servers and clients. Servers put timestamps on events and clients send data to be timestamped and checked. This setup makes sure they are clear and reliable. However, the study tests how well the system works by looking at cost-how much memory it uses and how fast it runs. The study also talks about using Ethereum. Ethereum lets everyone see timestamps and what happen-which is good for trust. But it can't keep secrets-so it's not good for private data. This study shows that blockchain is useful for more than just money. It can make sure events are real and safe. By mixing math ideas in blockchain-the study shows how to make data safer and more reliable in many places.
