APPLYING BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY FOR ENHANCED CLOUD COMPUTING SECURITY: A REVIEW

Abstract

The evolution of cloud computing has extremely changed the storage and management of data by offering vital accessibility and flexibility mechanisms. Nevertheless, this change has also brought a variety of security challenges including data breaches, unauthorized access, information leaks, and service disruptions. These threats are only a few of the risks companies face in the digital landscape. Therefore, the aim of this article is to explore how blockchain can provide a solution to strengthen cloud security. This paper, particularly, examines the decentralized nature of blockchain to evaluate its effectiveness in ensuring data integrity and credibility. Furthermore, this study objects to fill gaps in existing literature on the connection of blockchain and cloud computing by utilizing a variety of research methods. The main goal is to prove that how blockchain is able to support cloud security improvements and address key queries in this area.
