Information Management Enhancement in Cloud-Based Systems Through Blockchain-Enabled Secure Access Control

Abstract

Cloud technologies have dramatically altered the data storage, access, and scalability landscape, but the resultant dependence on centralized systems creates immense challenges for security, privacy, and unauthorized access. This paper introduces a new framework for enabling information management in cloud environments using blockchain-enabled secure access control. By integrating distributed ledger technology and highly cryptographic access control methods, this framework will facilitate immutable record-keeping, real-time verification of access rights, and the ability to audit user activity. This framework will substantially reduce the risk of data breaches, insider threats, and unauthorized access through its transparency and overall operational reliance. The empirical evaluations confirm that blockchain-enabled access control provides an impressive level of security, while smoothing information management processes and establishing trust and resilience in cloud environments. The results will demonstrate that blockchain can disrupt cloud information management and provide a scalable, privacy-preserving solution for any enterprise or multi-tenant cloud application.
