Abstract
Cloud Computing is an on-demand model that provides and allows various digital resources to be accessed over the internet. With its rise to prominence, cloud computing has allowed the digital world to become more convenient, flexible, and cost effective, thus making it a tempting alternative in comparison to deploying and maintaining the servers required to meet the same needs. An abundant amount of data is constantly being processed, stored, and managed through the cloud and with this data comes the concern of data security and integrity. In this paper we examine the different data issues facing a cloud environment and discuss a decentralized model using the blockchain framework. Blockchain is a shared public ledger that grows accordingly to its confirmed transactions and has become notorious over the past decade for its use of cryptocurrency as well as its key characteristics of decentralization and data transparency. With these concepts of blockchain we can provide a more secure and reliable cloud environment.
