A COMPREHENSIVE SWOT ANALYSIS FOR BLOCKCHAIN-BASED CLOUD DATA INTEGRITY VERIFICATION SCHEME
Main article
Abstract
In the current big data environment where data security is a major concern, the shortcomings of traditional centralised cloud data integrity verification schemes are gradually being identified. These include the lack of transparency in protocol enforcement and the risk of single points of failure. A growing number of researchers have undertaken significant research efforts to address these flaws. To address these challenges, some researchers have proposed a Blockchain-Based Cloud Data Integrity Verification (BBCDIV) scheme by combining blockchain technology with traditional cloud data integrity verification protocols. This paper provides an introduction and a comprehensive SWOT analysis of BBCDIV, a study that aims to assess the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of blockchain technology in relation to data integrity in a cloud computing environment. This paper provides an overall view of the BBCDIV solution through an analysis and review of the literature and by considering internal and external factors. The conclusions of this paper highlight the potential advantages of blockchain technology in ensuring secure and reliable data storage and management in cloud environments, while also identifying potential challenges and limitations that need to be addressed for successful implementation. This SWOT analysis can provide a research reference as well as potential future research directions for researchers and practitioners in related fields.
