Abstract

Blockchain technology has emerged as a transformative tool for enhancing data integrity and transparency in cloud computing. The integration of blockchain with cloud services addresses critical issues such as data security, immutability, and auditability by leveraging blockchain's decentralized and tamper-resistant features. This paper explores various mechanisms through which blockchain technology can be utilized to strengthen the reliability of data management systems in the cloud. It also highlights the challenges associated with scalability, interoperability, and cost-effectiveness while providing insights into potential solutions and future research directions.
