Enhancing Security in Cloud Computing through block chain Integration for the Internet of Things

Author: Prof. Neha Reddy

Abstract: Cloud computing has become a critical enabler of the Internet of Things (IoT), allowing for scalable and on-demand resource management. However, as more devices connect to the cloud, security challenges have escalated. This paper explores how block chain technology can enhance cloud security for IoT applications. By leveraging decentralized ledgers, block chain minimizes vulnerabilities such as data breaches and unauthorized access. The paper analyzes several block chain protocols and their impact on cloud-based IoT systems. Performance metrics are discussed, with a focus on scalability and transaction speed. Furthermore, a case study of a block chain-empowered IoT framework is presented, illustrating how distributed security measures can be implemented to safeguard cloud resources.

Keywords: block chain, Cloud Computing, Internet of Things (IoTs), Security, Decentralized Ledger
