The shared information is influenced by intermediate users and alters the originality of the information. Although risk factors such as confidentiality and privacy of the data are reduced when using a cyber defense system, existing techniques rely on a centralized system that may be damaged during an accident. In addition, private information sharing faces rights issues when accessing sensitive information. The research issues influence trust, privacy, and security in a third-party environment. Therefore, this work uses the Access Control Enabled Blockchain (ACE-BC) framework to enhance overall data security in CIS. The ACE-BC framework uses attribute encryption techniques to manage data security, while the access control mechanism limits unauthorized user access. The effective utilization of blockchain techniques ensures overall data privacy and security. The efficiency of the introduced framework was evaluated using experimental results, and the experimental outcome indicated that the recommended ACE-BC framework enhanced the data confidentiality ratio (98.9%), the throughput ratio (98.2%), the efficiency ratio (97.4%), and the latency rate (10.9%) when compared to other popular models.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s23063020","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,13]],"date-time":"2023-03-13T03:28:33Z","timestamp":1678678113000},"page":"3020","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["Applying Access Control Enabled Blockchain (ACE-BC) Framework to Manage Data Security in the CIS System"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8617-1430","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Abdullah","family":"Alharbi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Computer Science Department, Community College, King Saud University, Riyadh 11437, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"102830","DOI":"10.1016\/j.scs.2021.102830","article-title":"Accurate performance prediction of IoT communication systems for smart cities: An efficient deep learning based solution","volume":"69","author":"Said","year":"2021","journal-title":"Sustainable Cities and Society"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jpdc.2020.03.005","article-title":"A blockchain based decentralized data security mechanism for the Internet of Things","volume":"141","author":"Ge","year":"2020","journal-title":"J.
