Definition of Security and Privacy
Security and privacy can be defined according to the following [8]: “Security isn’t to
tamper with a user’s items that adversely influence his activities, Privacy is to leave
a user’s details to himself only”. It can be said that privacy is the process of hiding
an individual’s information and isolating it from others in a dynamic, and selective
manner. As for security, it is keeping the information safe and resisting any potential
danger or unwanted forced change from others.
Figure 3 shows us security and privacy problems, which focus mostly on informa-
tion security and loss, and this is what has been worked on in our research through
the use of cryptographic algorithms to maintain information security, in addition to
using decentralized blockchain technology to distribute data to more than one server
in the event of any attack or sabotage.

Definition of Cloud Security
Cloud Security is the data storage/availability of services for users across the cloud
platforms via the Internet in a secure and protected against penetration (whether this
penetration is for the purpose of deletion or leakage or other), the security of the
cloud is a form of cyber-security and consists of a set of controls and technologies
that sharing together to protect the infrastructure and cloud data, Through Fig. 4,
it has been represented the problems and classifications of cloud security, which
makes it easy to understand attacks, evaluate them, and suggest solutions to them. It
also observed from Fig. 4. that to achieve security requires the provision of several
things: (such as firewalls, encryption, obfuscation, VPNs, etc.), in addition to that the
most important factor in data protection insurance is the nature of the relationship
