This research paper puts emphasis on using cloud computing with Blockchain (BC) to improve the security and privacy in a cloud. The security of data is not guaranteed as there is always a risk of leakage of users' data. Blockchain can be used in a multi-tenant cloud environment (MTCE) to improve the security of data, as it is a decentralized approach. Data is saved in unaltered form. Also, Blockchain is not owned by a single organization. The encryption process can be done using a Homomorphic encryption (HE) algorithm along with hashing technique, hereby allowing computations on encrypted data without the need for decryption. This research paper is composed of four objectives: Analysis of cloud security using Blockchain technology; Exceptional scenario of Blockchain architecture in an enterprise-level MTCE; Implementation of cipher-text policy attribute-based encryption (CP-ABE) algorithm; Implementation of Merkle tree using Ethereum (MTuE) in a Multi-tenant system. Out of these four objectives, the main focus is on the implementation of CP-ABE algorithm. CP-ABE parameters are proposed for different levels of tenants. The levels include inner tenant, outer tenant, Inner-Outer-Tenant, Inner-Outer-External-Tenant, Outer-Inner-Tenant, External-Outer-Inner-Tenant and the parameters such as token, private key, public key, access tree, message, attribute set, node-level, cipher-text, salting which will help in providing better security using CP-ABE algorithm in a multitenant environment (MTE) where tenants can be provided with different levels of security and achieved 92 percentage of authenticity and access-control of the data.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
