Blockchain-based security for cloud data storage.

Abstract

Data Cloud Storage is a service that allows data to save data on offsite storage system and managed by third-party and is made accessible by a web services user. It has become one of the most convenient and efficient methods to store data online. However, like other technologies and services, cloud storage has its advantages and disadvantages, but the challenge of security is the big issue. In this project, an investigation of the use of blockchain technology to improve the security of cloud data storage. The focus to address in this project is the vulnerability of cloud data storage systems to cyber-attacks and data breaches. The design and implementation of a proof-of-concept blockchain-based data storage system, and an evaluation of the system’s security and performance will be presented. A proposal system to secure cloud storage could be an alternative for traditional methods. It is proposed to use blockchain as a data protection system.
