Block SDoTCloud: Enhancing Security of Cloud Storage through Blockchain based SDN in IoT Network
Software Defined Networking (SDN) and Blockchain (BC) are the most recent research trends in emerging technology. These technologies have currently been used in the IoT networking environment for various purposes, such as protection, stability, scalability, confidentiality, and so on. Such techniques can be used in this regard to effectively provide security, privacy, and confidentiality to cloud storage. In this paper, the authors proposed Block SDoTCloud architecture to significantly enhance security within the cloud storage network. In order to give the cloud storage environment the requisite facilities, two leading technologies, i.e. SDN and Blockchain were applied. The centralized SDN controller provided the proposed model with tremendous reliability, versatility, and load balancing in one side while on the other hand, a distributed Blockchain created a deep trust between the transaction levels resulting into effective protection for the presented scheme. The efficiency of the proposed architecture is justified through close observation of simulation with a careful selection of relevant parameters.
