Application of Blockchain for the Security of Decentralized Cloud Computing

Abstract

The demand for blockchain and its significant application has progressed in various sectors and practice areas. A blockchain is a digital technology act as a database that is shared across a network of computers. Although the blockchain is still in the initial stage of testing, in this platform the blockchain is considered as a progressive solution such as decentralization, identity, belief, character, ownership of data, and information about choices. The demand for cloud computing networks is also progressing higher in modern technology. This paper reviewed the application of blockchain technology where data kept in securing decentralized cloud storage which guarantees data of the security and credibility of the system. In a decentralized cloud, storage data are encrypted with a cryptographic algorithm technique with a private key from a user. The benefits and performance of the recent technique and system of cryptography motivated especially in decentralized cloud storage. Decentralized cloud storage using blockchain data makes it more secure and avoids many attacking challenges and single point of failure.
