A Block Chain-Based Framework for Secure Data Sharing in Cloud Environments

Abstract

Cloud computing has become a cornerstone of modern IT infrastructure, offering scalability, flexibility, and cost-efficiency. However, data security and privacy remain significant concerns, especially in multi-user environments where sensitive information is shared across distributed systems. This paper proposes a block chain-based framework to enhance data security and integrity in cloud environments. The framework leverages block chain’s decentralized and immutable nature to ensure secure data sharing, transparency, and auditability. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed framework reduces unauthorized access by 40% and improves data integrity verification by 35% compared to traditional cloud storage systems. The findings highlight the potential of block chain technology to address critical security challenges in cloud computing.
