DECENTRALISED SECURE CLOUD STORAGE USING BLOCKCHAIN
Keywords:
Decentralized Storage, Blockchain, Data Integrity, Smart Contracts, Data Sovereignty, Cloud Security.Abstract
Cloud storage is crucial for modern computing, offering convenient data access from anywhere with internet connectivity. Traditional cloud storage is centralized, posing risks of single points of failure, data breaches, and privacy concerns, as users must trust service providers for data protection. This has driven the demand for decentralized secure cloud storage. Blockchain-based storage solutions offer a promising approach, ensuring data integrity, privacy, and availability by distributing data across multiple nodes in a network. Leveraging blockchain's immutable ledger, the system verifies data authenticity and employs smart contracts for secure access and management. This research introduces a decentralized secure cloud storage system using blockchain, representing a significant shift in data storage and management. By distributing data across nodes, it eliminates risks associated with centralization. Smart contracts enforce access controls and encryption, enhancing security and privacy. Users gain greater ownership and control over their data through key access management, supporting data sovereignty by adhering to jurisdictional laws and regulations. This proposed system has the potential to revolutionize data storage practices, offering a secure and privacy-focused alternative to traditional centralized cloud services.
