| description | In cybersecurity, personal data breaches have become one of the significant issues. This fact indicates that data breaches require unique detection systems, techniques, and solutions, which necessitate the potential to facilitate precise and quick data breach detection. Various research works on data breach detection and related areas in dealing with this problem have been proposed. Several survey studies have been conducted to comprehend insider data breaches better. However, these works did not examine techniques related to blockchain and innovative smart contract technologies to detect data breaches. In this survey, we examine blockchain-based data breach detection mechanisms developed so far to deal with data breach detection. We compare blockchain-based data breach detection techniques based on type, platform, smart contracts, consensus algorithm language/tool, and evaluation measures. We also present a taxonomy of contemporary data breach types. We conclude our study by outlining existing methodologies’ issues, offering ideas for overcoming those challenges, and pointing the way forward. |
