A REVIEW OF BLOCKCHAIN SECURITY IN THE CLOUD COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT

Abstract: Nowadays, Most of IT industry preferred Cloud Computing technology to deliver data services at a nominal cost with little efforts and good level of scalability. During this exponential growth of cloud computing technology, security arisen as the major challenge. Researchers have made tremendous progress in comprehending the potential of blockchain technology for the cloud, finding risks, and suggesting mitigations. Even if blockchain has better security characteristics, its integration with cloud computing platforms must take into account its drawbacks, scalability issues, and privacy concerns. To further improve the security and usefulness of blockchain technology in the cloud, research and innovation must continue. Blockchain ensures security in all aspects as confidentiality and authenticity. The current review study looks at the function that block chains play in cloud-based security systems. However, there are a number of studies that make use of block chains, despite the fact that it has been noticed that block chains have significant limitations. On the other side, research that has been done on the cloud, has inadequate security features. It's possible that using blockchain technology with cloud computing can make cloud contents more secure.
