Abstract

Blockchain technology contains records of data which consists of all transactions and these details are distributed among all legal nodes present in a network. This system confirms all its transactions based on consensus mechanisms, and this data once stored cannot be changed or updated. Blockchain is an important technology in current digital currency in the name of Bitcoin. Cloud computing is a remote server used for storing, managing and processing data in networking. But it is facing lot of issues like reliability, integrity and data management. The efficiency and authentication of cloud server will be improved by novel trust management framework by integration of blockchain in cloud computing environment. This hybrid model of cloud-based blockchain is named as blockchain as a Service (BaaS). This proposed framework contains the smart contract and access mechanism for data authentication against Byzantine attack. Also, the performance of the proposed model is compared with some state of art methods and proving that our framework is having highest security against Byzantine attack.
