Blockchain Enabled Secure and Tamper Resistant Cloud Computing Architectures for Privacy Preserving Data Storage and Access Control

Abstract

Cloud computing has revolutionized data storage and access control, enabling seamless digital transformation. However, traditional cloud architectures are susceptible to security breaches, unauthorized access, and data tampering. This paper explores the integration of blockchain technology into cloud computing to enhance data security, integrity, and privacy. We discuss blockchain-enabled models that ensure tamper-resistant data storage, decentralized access control mechanisms, and cryptographic verification. The study also presents a comparative analysis of existing research and emerging trends in secure cloud architectures.
