Abstract
Blockchain is also used for bitcoin transactions as a technology for accumulating data files in the cloud for key distribution and file manipulation in distributed fashion. It is a service of cloud that manages elasticity of compute cloud, storage, and technology of network security (i.e., secure solution to store and share information by offering a distributed ledger service). In distributed systems, abandoned events are much more frequent than centralized system. This concept causes a number of issues including data reliability, high economical cost, and information system security. In this chapter, the authors present a new framework in blockchain to supervise the cloud server for administration of blockchain, which is verified the transaction reliability in peer-to-peer networks for sharing of data files in centralized manner. Each transaction can be generated keys for server authentication to verify all the connected members for monitoring the web server.

Application of Technology in Healthcare: Tackling COVID-19 Challenge – The Integration of Blockchain and Internet of Things
Blocks are records, which together form a blockchain. Each block contains a record of a transaction that is locked in chronological order and secured using cryptography. Each block contains, among other things, a record of recent transactions, and a reference to the block that came immediately before it.

Applications of Secured Blockchain Technology in the Manufacturing Industry
A message sent by a participant in a blockchain system that has been authenticated and verified by that system and consensus reached on it, and which has been added (as a block) to the previous block in this chain of blocks. Blocks typically record transactions or the change in the status of something.

Blockchains for Use in Construction and Engineering Projects
Is the basic unit that describes how files are organized in a blockchain. Blocks contain an ordered set of transactions that are cryptographically linked to the preceding block, and in turn it is linked to subsequent blocks. Blocks are assembled by the ordering service and then validated and committed to the blockchain by peers that reside on nodes.

Modelling Constructs
Blocks are a way of structuring a business process model in disjoint parts. In the context of this chapter, they are also used as the scope for certain modelling constructs such as non-local synchronization. They are independent of a particular modelling formalism and can be used for integrating models for different aspects of the same business process.
