Ashis Kumar Samanta, Nabendu Chaki · 2021 International Conference on Data Analytics for Business and Industry (ICDABI) · 2021
The use of the cloud for storing data for online applications has become a popular technology. It has become a paradigm of the next generation. With the widespread of smartphones and popular applications like Facebook, WhatsApp, etc., individuals are much acquainted using cloud storage, even without understanding the same. However, the security of data in the cloud is still a big issue irrespective of the user and cloud provider. Applications are implemented in various domains to achieve data security, privacy, and data transparency in cloud-based applications. The evaluation of smart contracts, run on the blockchain framework, is used nowadays in diverse sectors of business for achieving data security. However, in real-life implementation, it is found that the blockchain itself is suffering from different security threats. In this paper, a methodology, ToSSecC is proposed towards enhancing the security features of cloud data by addressing the issues of spam mails in the admission system of a large university in India. The work has been divided into two steps: 1) Deployment of in the cloud-based application, by incorporating smart contract and 2) Enhancement of the security of the smart contract by proper validation using game theory.
