Abstract

Network security has always been and remains a major topic in telecommunications and information technologies. Security plays a key role in a network and therefore it is very important to take appropriate measures to protect user data. In addition to standard protocols and security mechanisms, there are many researches and experiments with current blockchain technology. This paper presents several user scenarios for improving security in cloud computing when using blockchain and how this technology can help in cyber security within the cloud systems. Moreover, for cloud computing, we have proposed our solution, based on many analyses over different solutions, which provides higher degree of data protection and, what is important, it does not load the IoT network and IoT devices
