 Abstract:

This study seeks to understand the role of institutions and organizations that have used cloud service providers to store and share data as ensuring third-party access to storage is a major challenge to avoid data theft and unwanted access. Hence, in this paper, Blockchain-Based Data Access and Secure Sharing Method (BDASS) is introduced to enhance security processes related to personal data through data access control and secure sharing method, the proposed method uses blockchain aggregation, file system (IPFS), dynamic access control (DAC), and ciphertext-attribute-based encryption (CP-ABE) to enhance the security of personal data. To keep the owner safe, a blockchain-based DAC is designed. To keep data storage and sharing secure, the blockchain-based CP-ABE is designed. In this proposed methodology, the data owner encrypts the data they have stored in IPFS, thus enhancing data security, which has been improved with the help of CP-ABE regarding detailed access policy and data owner. Policy parameters are managed by the DAC. In the proposed methodology, the data owner uses the blockchain to control security and access to the data. Finally, the paper has come up with a set of findings in order to achieve data security and access control for the data owner through the blockchain-based approach. To evaluate the performance of the proposed method, MATLAB was used. The proposed technology also contrasts with existing technologies, such as the Blockchain-Based Security Sharing Scheme for Personal Data (BSSPD) as well as the Rivest-Shamir-Adleman Algorithm (RSA) and Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC).
