Abstract

Cloud computing environments have been growing in popularity, and many organizations are completely shifting to cloud computing for storing important data and accessing the cloud's high computing capabilities. But one main problem associated with the cloud is security. Cyber-attacks on the cloud can result in the loss of critical data, and many organizations and individuals are storing the data in an environment provided by a third party. So, a system that can provide efficient security to the cloud is proposed in this approach. Blockchain technology will be used to provide security to the cloud environment. The blockchain will use the private and public keys generated during the creation of the blockchain to improve the authentication, authorization, and access control of the cloud environment. The system will be implemented in the form of a web application that can be used by the users to save data to the cloud. Amazon Web Services (AWS) will be used as cloud storage. The results of the study reveal that blockchain technology can enhance the authentication, authorization, and access control of the cloud environment.
