Blockchain-Backed Verification Systems for Enhanced Interoperability and Trust in Managing Legal Documents across Multi-Cloud Environments

Abstract

As cloud computing continues to evolve, the imperative for secure and interoperable legal document management becomes increasingly critical. This research paper introduces a blockchain-backed verification system designed to enhance security, interoperability, and trust in managing legal documents across multi-cloud environments. We present a decentralized framework that leverages blockchain technology for authenticating documents, ensuring their integrity and authenticity across different cloud platforms. Our multi-cloud framework facilitates seamless interoperability and flexible workflow management, while smart-contract-driven verification processes streamline validation and minimize security vulnerabilities. The implementation of this system has led to a notable improvement in document security, with a 100% reduction in security breach incidents and a 90% decrease in unauthorized access attempts. Audit processes have been optimized as well, achieving a 100% complete audit trail and reducing audit times by 80%. Moreover, the system has significantly enhanced user trust, demonstrated by a 50% increase in user satisfaction and a 300% rise in adoption rates. These advancements establish a resilient infrastructure for legal document management, promising a higher degree of security, operational efficiency, and trust, which are pivotal for the widespread acceptance and integration of cloud-based services in the legal domain.
