Enhancing Security of Cloud Computing Transaction using Blockchain

Cloud computing has revolutionized the way businesses and individuals access and manage data and services. However, it has also introduced new security challenges, particularly in the context of transactional integrity and data privacy. This paper explores the combination of blockchain technology as an original tactic to enhance the security of cloud computing transactions. Blockchain, known for its distributed and unchallengeable ledger, offers a promising solution to address the vulnerabilities associated with centralized cloud systems. In this research, we also investigate the potential benefits of leveraging blockchain to secure cloud transactions, focusing on key aspects such as data integrity, authentication, and confidentiality. Through a wide-ranging analysis of prevailing literature and real-world use cases, we analyze the assets and boundaries of combining blockchain and cloud computing. We also propose a conceptual framework for integrating blockchain into cloud transactions, outlining the architecture, consensus mechanisms, and smart contracts to ensure secure and verifiable interactions. Furthermore, we examine the potential impact of this integration on various industry sectors, including finance, healthcare, and supply chain management, where secure and transparent transactions are paramount. We also discuss the challenges and adoption barriers that organizations may encounter when implementing blockchain-enhanced cloud security. Ultimately, this paper highlights the potential of blockchain technology to boost the safety and trustworthiness of cloud computing transactions, providing a foundation for further research and practical implementations in an increasingly interconnected and data-driven world.
