Enable Data Dynamics for Algebraic Signatures Based Remote Data Possession Checking in the Cloud Storage

摘要

Cloud storage is one of the main application of the cloud computing.With the data services in the cloud,users is able to outsource their data to the cloud,access and share their outsourced data from the cloud server anywhere and anytime.However,this new paradigm of data outsourcing services also introduces new security challenges,among which is how to ensure the integrity of the outsourced data.Although the cloud storage providers commit a reliable and secure environment to users,the integrity of data can still be damaged owing to the carelessness of humans and failures of hardwares/softwares or the attacks from external adversaries.Therefore,it is of great importance for users to audit the integrity of their data outsourced to the cloud.In this paper,we first design an auditing framework for cloud storage and proposed an algebraic signature based remote data possession checking protocol,which allows a third-party to auditing the integrity of the outsourced data on behalf of the users and supports unlimited number of verifications.Then we extends our auditing protocol to support data dynamic operations,including data update,data insertion and data deletion.The analysis and experiment results demonstrate that our proposed schemes are secure and efficient.
