Blockchain-Based Distributed Hybrid Cloud Identity Management for Securing IoT Devices in the Cloud

The growing usage of Internet of Things (IoT) devices has led to a need for secure and decentralized identity management systems. Scalability and security are two major problems with traditional centralized identity management systems. In this paper, we propose a distributed hybrid cloud identity management system based on the blockchain for protecting IoT devices in the cloud. To achieve scalability, reliability, and performance, our system makes use of the advantages of distributed architecture and blends the characteristics of public and private cloud infrastructures. Blockchain technology is used for generating an auditable and tamper-proof record of identity management transactions. Our technology offers a decentralized and reliable identity management system, ensuring the privacy and security of IoT devices. Our proposed system provides a promising solution for managing the identities of IoT devices in a secure and decentralized manner, thus mitigating the security risks associated with centralized identity.
