Abstract

The cloud computing (CC) network is designed to tackle the security and privacy challenges of centralized cloud services by distributing computing and storage resources among networked nodes. Cloud computing, on the other hand, is restricted by the performance of linked devices, posing problems in state authorization, stats encryption, consumer privacy and more. Blockchain technology (BT) is the most popular circulated network technology right now. It is utilized in numerous fields like bitcoin, IoT, etc., to tackle the consistent issue of distributed data. The difficulties that CC networks present for security and privacy are covered in this chapter. Analysis and solutions brought to edge computing networks by BT in terms of data encryption, authentication and user privacy. In this chapter, the advantages of combining the cloud computing network with blockchain technology will be discussed. Finally, memory, workload, and latency problems for related future studies have been discussed.
