Blockchain Security in Cloud Computing: Use Cases, Challenges, and Solutions

The considerable interest in blockchain technology stems from its ability to bolster security within cloud computing settings. This paper presents deeply into the uses, obstacles, and remedies associated with blockchain security within the realm of cloud computing. We examine practical use cases, such as secure data storage, identity management, and supply chain traceability, where blockchain is poised to revolutionize security paradigms. Challenges, including scalability, performance, and regulatory compliance, are thoroughly analyzed. This work encompasses a comprehensive overview of the existing and emerging solutions, such as sidechains, consensus algorithms, and zero-knowledge proofs, aimed at addressing blockchain security issues in the cloud. With a focus on real-world implications and forward-looking trends, this research work provides valuable information about evolving landscape of blockchain security within the cloud computing domain.
