Unified Security Framework for Cloud Applications with IoT Fusion via Decentralized Blockchain

Abstract

Recent advancements in blockchain-based cloud computing highlight its potential in providing robust data security, integrity, and confidentiality. While cloud computing is increasingly utilized for remote resource access, it presents significant security challenges that necessitate innovative solutions. This research proposes a novel SecureCloudChain IoT (SCC-IoT) architecture, which integrates blockchain technology into cloud-supportive platforms to enhance security measures. The SCC-IoT architecture includes a distributed blockchain approach to ensure data security while maintaining privacy and integrity. This system is designed to be adaptable and scalable, meeting real-world requirements effectively. By promoting a decentralized and efficient environment, SCC-IoT improves the reliability, stability, and load balancing of cloud services. Performance assessments through various experimental conditions have been conducted to evaluate the proposed system. The results demonstrate SCC-IoT’s effectiveness in mitigating potential attacks and ensuring secure and reliable cloud computing. This research highlights the significance of integrating blockchain technology into cloud platforms, paving way for more secure and efficient cloud computing solutions.
