The issue at hand is that as cloud computing grows, there is growing worry about cloud security. Sensitive data stored in the cloud is susceptible to illegal access or alteration by hackers or internal cloud administrators when centralized access control methods are in place. The security and integrity of corporate and personal data are seriously threatened by this. One proposed answer for this issue is AuthPrivacyChain, a blockchain based access control architecture AuthPrivacyChain uses blockchain node addresses as identities to renegotiate permissions for cloud data access control. These permissions are kept on the blockchain and are encrypted. Processes for authorization, revocation, and access control are also included in the framework. When AuthPrivacyChain is used on an enterprise operating system such as EOS, it significantly improves cloud security by guarding against unwanted access and guaranteeing the privacy of authorized users.
