Algebraic Signatures Based Data Integrity Auditing for Efficient Data Dynamics in Cloud Computing

Abstract:

With the rapid development of cloud services, the resources-constrained enterprises and individuals can outsource the huge sensitive data into the Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) who fully control the data physically. Since CSPs are not fully trusted, it is essential to protect the integrity and confidentiality of usersrsquo; data. Plenty of researchers have devoted considerable attention to solve this issue in the last decade such as various PDP and POR schemes. In this paper, we propose an algebraic signature-based data integrity auditing scheme that ensures the cloud data integrity and confidentiality with batch auditing. Moreover, one advantage of the scheme is that it can also support data dynamics by using only one cloud server. The security analysis shows that our construction can achieve the desired security properties. We also provide the simulation results of the dynamic operations on different numbers of data blocks and sub-blocks, which show that our scheme is efficient for real-world applications.
