Blockchain Integration in Cloud Computing: A Promising Approach for Data Integrity and Trust

Abstract

This study investigates the synergistic integration of blockchain technology into cloud computing, presenting a promising approach to fortify data integrity and trust in digital environments. Delving into the foundational principles of blockchain, the research examines its potential to address vulnerabilities in traditional cloud security, offering a decentralized and tamper-resistant solution. Strategic implementation strategies are explored, emphasizing phased adoption and considerations for consensus mechanisms. Real-world applications, including supply chain transparency and smart contracts for compliance, demonstrate the transformative impact of blockchain integration. Major findings underscore enhanced data security, transparency, and the establishment of trust. As organizations strive to navigate evolving digital landscapes, the synthesis of blockchain and cloud computing emerges as a strategic paradigm for secure and trustworthy data management, with continued exploration and adaptation being key to realizing its full potential.
