With its decentralized and unchangeable data management capabilities, blockchain technology has become a disruptive factor in a number of businesses. Distributed blockchain ledger security, however, is still a major worry, especially for cloud-based massive data storage environments. With the help of sophisticated smart contracts running on the Ethereum blockchain, this article offers a thorough solution to this problem: the creation of an intrusion detection system (IDS). The suggested IDS incorporates a number of crucial components to improve security in distributed blockchain networks. The first thing it stresses is the protection of secrecy through the use of data encryption procedures and cryptographic techniques. The information distribution system (IDS) uses Ethereum smart contracts to safeguard private data kept on the blockchain from modification or unwanted access. Strong security features are delivered by the suggested IDS while preserving scalability and efficiency thanks to the integration of sophisticated smart contracts with cloud-based large data storage infrastructure. Transparency, auditability, and resistance to malicious assaults and single points of failure are ensured by utilizing the Ethereum blockchain, which serves as a decentralized infrastructure for smart contract execution. All things considered; this work offers a new way to improve distributed blockchain ledger security by deploying an IDS that is driven by Ethereum smart contracts. The suggested method provides a thorough answer to the security issues faced by cloud-based big data storage systems by taking care of important components such data integrity, confidentiality, and access control. By means of empirical assessment and practical implementation, the efficacy and expandability of the suggested IDS may be confirmed, hence promoting the progression of security protocols inside blockchain networks.
