Abstract
Since more users are moving to cloud computing, keeping our data safe and private now matters more. Since most cloud storage is run from just one location, it is easier for attackers and causes issues if the system fails. We come up with a new way to secure cloud storage by using blockchain technology and smart contracts.
Blockchain mainly allows us to have a safe and distributed record that ensures data access can be trusted. By using smart contracts, we enable people to safely access data without any help from a middleman. It means that you can see every use of data access in the system, and these actions cannot be deleted or changed.
Using blockchain technology with distributed storage, we ensure that everything happening is recorded and access is regulated correctly. We also discuss a case study to illustrate how our idea helps with transparency and trust, while at the same time mentioning concerns such as how far it can be used and problems with regulations, and our solutions for these issues.
