Enhancing the Performance and Data Security of Blockchain Technology for Cloud Computing

Abstract

Today’s fastest-growing IT technology is cloud computing, which is gaining popularity due to its adaptability and user-friendly characteristics. Cloud computing can decrease pay-per-use costs, which also boosts scalability. In cloud computing, any requested resource or service, such as software, hardware, or infrastructure, will be made available. The main issue with cloud computing is data security because the data will be held by a third party and will be readily available online. Since the consumer has limited control over the data, several security risks may occur as a result of its invisibility. As a result, cloud security is required to guarantee the security of user data on the cloud. Utilizing cloud services from a cloud provider who guarantees the security of your data is crucial. The majority of articles focus on creating cloud storage that is safe enough for sensitive information. The Internet of Things (IoT) is now used in a variety of ways to simplify people's lives. The Internet of Things generates enormous amounts of data that need to be processed and stored on the cloud. Data stored on the Blockchain is secure from prying eyes since it is a distributed ledger. Any computational node with internet access can join or establish a peer network, increasing the effectiveness with which resources are employed. Every machine in a peer-to-peer, decentralized network that uses blockchain has its own database. According to our current study, a system's security may be increased by implementing robust data encryption, privacy safeguards, access restrictions, and identity management processes. These measures will secure sensitive data and prevent unauthorized access.
