Abstract

Blockchain technology is a combination of distributed data storage, peer-to-peer network, consensus mechanism, timestamp technology, encryption algorithm and other computer technologies. It provides a new solution for the secure distributed cloud data storage system. Blockchain can provide a decentralized secure storage architecture that does not require the accumulation of trust, and it can provides new solutions for cloud storage security and can be applied in time-sensitive areas. This paper summarizes the existing blockchain-based systems and applications, and we mainly review the applications of blockchain traceability technology in various fields, the blockchain decentralized applications, and other blockchain applications in data security protection, respectively. This work may bring new opportunities and challenges for the development of various industries in the future.
