“…The authors contend that the decentralized and distributed characteristics of blockchain protocols not only meet security prerequisites but also stimulate the advancement of improved security measures for cloud storage. In [19], the authors proposed a data provenance framework for the cloud environment using blockchain technology. They implemented their framework on AWS S3 and demonstrated the use of blockchain using dropbox-like application.…”

Ensuring secure data provenance is crucial for maintaining accountability and confidentiality in cloud environments. Cloud data provenance involves recording the history of creation and operations performed on cloud data objects. However, establishing trust between cloud customers and service providers remains a challenge, highlighting the need for assured data provenance models in cloud storage. Blockchain technology has emerged as a solution for designing data provenance assurance mechanisms. It provides a decentralized and distributed ledger to record the provenance of digital assets. In this context, we present a blockchain-based framework for ensuring data provenance in cloud storage. Initially, we develop a cloud storage application using OpenStack swift storage. This application caters to the storage needs of university students and faculty while providing data provenance capabilities. Subsequently, we design a data provenance assurance framework for confidential files of users using the Ethereum blockchain. To evaluate the scalability and performance of the proposed framework, we analyze various factors such as transaction throughput, latency, network size, and load on the blockchain network. The performance of the system is compared under two consensus algorithms: Proof of Work and Proof of Authority. By conducting this analysis, we aim to assess the effectiveness and efficiency of the blockchain-based solution in ensuring data provenance in cloud storage environments.

“…According to the authors, usage of a dedicated blockchain makes the provenance data tamper-proof, reliable, and enhances data accountability. In [140] authors propose a similar system, where they employ cloud storage, InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) [141] and Ethereum blockchain. While the data is being saved in cloud storage, the data provenance assuring records are saved in the IPFS.…”

Digital marketplaces were created recently to accelerate the delivery of applications and services to customers. Their appealing feature is to activate and dynamize the demand, supply, and development of digital goods, applications, or services.By being an intermediary between producer and consumer, the primary business model for a marketplace is to charge the producer with a commission on the amount paid by the consumer. However, most of the time, the commission is dictated by the marketplace facilitator itself and creates an imbalance in value distribution, where producer and consumer sides suffer monetarily. In order to eliminate the need for a centralized entity between the producer and consumer, a blockchain-based decentralized digital marketplace concept was introduced. It provides marketplace actors with the tools to perform business transactions in a trusted manner and without the need for an intermediary.In this work, we provide a survey on Telecommunication Services Marketplaces (TSMs) which employ blockchain technology as the main trust enabling entity in order to avoid any intermediaries. We provide an overview of scientific and industrial proposals on the blockchain-based online digital marketplaces at large, and TSMs in particular. We consider in this study the notion of telecommunication services as any service enabling the capability for information transfer and, increasingly, information processing provided to a group of users by a telecommunications system. We discuss the main standardization activities around the concepts of TSMs and provide particular use-cases for the TSM business transactions such as SLA settlement. Also, we provide insights into the main foundational services provided by the TSM, as well as a survey of the scientific and industrial proposals for such services. Finally, a prospect for future developments is given.

“…The energy-efficiency management of OpenStack private clouds has been examined in [46], while the studies [47,48] have investigated the merging and consolidation of private clouds. Mechanisms to assure the integrity of the data in OpenStack private clouds with a blockchain have been explored in [49].…”

PurposeMajor public cloud providers, such as AWS, Azure or Google, offer seamless experiences for infrastructure as a service (IaaS), platform as a service (PaaS) and software as a service (SaaS). With the emergence of the public cloud's vast usage, administrators must be able to have a reliable method to provide the seamless experience that a public cloud offers on a smaller scale, such as a private cloud. When a smaller deployment or a private cloud is needed, OpenStack can meet the goals without increasing cost or sacrificing data control.Design/methodology/approachTo demonstrate these enablement goals of resiliency and elasticity in IaaS and PaaS, the authors design a private distributed system cloud platform using OpenStack and its core services of Nova, Swift, Cinder, Neutron, Keystone, Horizon and Glance on a five-node deployment.FindingsThrough the demonstration of dynamically adding an IaaS node, pushing the deployment to its physical and logical limits, and eventually crashing the deployment, this paper shows how the PackStack utility facilitates the provisioning of an elastic and resilient OpenStack-based IaaS platform that can be used in production if the deployment is kept within designated boundaries.Originality/valueThe authors adopt the multinode-capable PackStack utility in favor of an all-in-one OpenStack build for a true demonstration of resiliency, elasticity and scalability in a small-scale IaaS. An all-in-one deployment is generally used for proof-of-concept deployments and is not easily scaled in production across multiple nodes. The authors demonstrate that combining PackStack with the multi-node design is suitable for smaller-scale production IaaS and PaaS deployments.
