Proposed Model for Secured Data Storage in Decentralized Cloud by Blockchain Ethereum

Abstract

Since cloud computing is an essential component of any modern company (usually accounting for a considerable share of information technology (IT) infrastructure investment), consumers rely on cloud services. Data privacy and security are worries when data remains in third-party storage. Existing document version control systems are centralized and at risk from data loss, as seen by higher time utilization and incorrect document update procedures that allow modifications to a document without the awareness of other network operators. Underutilized peer resources might be leveraged to construct storage. According to this argument, an elevated level of data security may be obtained by encrypting the data and dispersing it among numerous nodes. In this study, we attempted to review the security of cloud systems when using the blockchain Ethereum, and cloud computing was briefly discussed with its advantages and disadvantages. The idea of a decentralized cloud was briefly demonstrated with blockchain technology. Furthermore, previous papers were reviewed and presented in tabular form. This dictated that there are still research gaps in the field of blockchain-based cloud computing systems. This study proposed a model for secured data storage over a decentralized cloud by blockchain Ethereum.

Evolution of blockchain accounting literature from the perspective of CiteSpace (2013–2023)

“…Ethereum's blockchain has also benefitted the cloud by ensuring data provenance and enabling better monitoring [ 47 ]. Khan et al proposed an Ethereum-based blockchain model concerning data storage security in cloud computing [ 48 ]. The trustworthiness of the access control system is another critical issue.…”

Bitcoin in Conventional Markets: A Study on Blockchain-Induced Reliability, Investment Slopes, Financial and Accounting Aspects

“…Most of past research focuses on blockchain security and privacy [38], risks and challenges [16]. Few studies have investigated the reliability and trust of data in blockchain technology [37] and even fewer have examined the need for a modern comprehensive theoretical framework in which blockchain technology may be integrated with conventional market understanding in the context of the adoption and development of cryptocurrency [39,40].…”

DStore: Blockchain-Powered Decentralized Cloud Mesh

“…This ensures data integrity, as any changes to the stored information are recorded, making it resistant to unauthorized alterations. By leveraging Ethereum's smart contract functionality, the model introduces robust access control mechanisms, empowering users to securely share and manage their data while retaining full control over their privacy and ownership rights [3].…”
