Access control is a major factor in enhancing data security in the cloud storage system. However, the existing data sharing and the access control method have privacy data leakage and key abuse, which is a major challenge in the research community. Therefore, an effective method named Blockchain-based access control and data sharing approach is developed in the cloud storage system to increase data security. The proposed Blockchain-based access control and data sharing approach effectively solve single-point failure in the cloud system. It provides more benefits by increasing the throughput and reducing the cost. The Data user (DU) makes the registration request using the ID and password and forwards it to the Data Owner (DO), which processes the request and authenticates the Data user. The information of the data owner is embedded in the transactional blockchain using the encrypted master key. The Data owner achieves the data encryption process, and encrypted files are uploaded to the Interplanetary File System (IPFS). Based on the encrypted file location and encrypted key, the Data owner generates the ciphertext metadata and is embedded in the transactional blockchain. The proposed Blockchain-based access control and data sharing approach achieved better performance using the metrics, like a better genuine user detection rate of 95% and lower responsiveness of 25sec with the blockchain of 100 sizes.
