Abstract

Data is a vital resource in this day and age; in fact, it directs all corporate choices and the majority of computer-assisted human activities. As a result, threats to the integrity of data are of the utmost importance, as deliberately tampering with data may adversely influence key business choices. This problem is especially prevalent in cloud computing settings, because data owners do not have control over essential data characteristics in those environments, such as the physical storage of data and the control over who may access it. Recent years have seen the rise of blockchain as a fascinating new technology that, among other things, delivers appealing qualities regarding data integrity. "The use of the blockchain to combat threats to data integrity may seem like an obvious choice; however, the blockchain's existing limitations of poor throughput, high latency, and weak stability make it difficult to implement any blockchain-based solutions in a practical setting. In this paper, we focus on a case study from the European SUNFISH project, which is concerned with the design of a secure by-design cloud federation platform for the public sector. This allows us to precisely delineate the actual data integrity needs of cloud computing environments as well as the research questions that need to be addressed in order to adopt blockchain-based databases. First, we describe the unanswered questions in research and the challenges that come with trying to find answers to them.
