  • First Online:
Blockchain Security in Cloud Computing

Part of the book series: EAI/Springer Innovations in Communication and Computing ((EAISICC))

Abstract

Appropriated computing in blockchain technology distributed innovation stage for creating decentralized applications and information stockpiling. A disseminated record is database that is con exotically shared and inner associated with arrange hubs. It permits exchanges data and to have open record database in the executive framework. The ledger can be described as a ledger of any transactions or contracts kept up in decentralized form across different geolocation connection which are made up with network nodes. The contestant at each node of the network can access the registered data shared across that network and can own an identical copy of it. Public ledger have any changes or update is made it will reflected and copied to all participants. Underlying distributed ledgers is the same technology that is used by blockchain which is the technology that is used to cryptocurrencies. Distributed computing in blockchain is working under decentralized public ledger; distributed computing blockchain technology consists of two different methodologies: public blockchain and private blockchain. This chapter explains the importance of distributed computing in blockchain, platforms, barriers, and privacy challenges of distributed computing.
