Block chain-Enabled Security and Privacy Solutions in Data Management

Abstract

The block chain technology has become a potential solution to improving security, privacy, and trust on contemporary data management systems. Conventional centralized systems are easily breached, tampered with and unauthorized access makes it necessary to have decentralized systems that cannot easily be tampered with. Block chain offers immutability, transparency, and cryptographic security and smart contracts offer automated access control and auditing. Sensitive information is safeguarded using privacy-saving methods, such as encryption, a zero-knowledge proof, and decentralized identity schemes. Scalability and collaboration are further increased with integration with cloud and big data systems. This review identifies the uses of Block chain, challenges and future research direction, which shows that Block chain is capable of changing the way secure and privacy-conscious data management is achieved.
