Cloud is one of the fastest growing technology that is widely adopted in different types of application systems such as healthcare, smart network, supply chain management, Internet of Things (IoT) and many others. However, it is more prone to the security threats due to the inclusion of different technologies. Blockchain technology is currently being used to safeguard cloud data security, which provides the features of decentralization, resilience to failure, and transparency. This paper examines the security risks associated with the cloud, then briefly introducing blockchain technology and its types to address current problems in cloud data security. The motivation of this review is to conduct a comprehensive analysis on Blockchain technology in cloud computing. Also, it aims to evaluate the existing research works that investigate the usage of blockchain-cloud integration. Moreover, this study examines the benefits and drawbacks of using traditional blockchain technologies for cloud data security. In addition, a detailed performance analysis is carried out using different measures for analyzing the major effects of using blockchain technology in cloud systems.

Keywords: Cloud Computing, Blockchain, Distributed Ledger, Data Storage, Security, Cryptography, and Privacy
