An efficient and secure protocol for checking remote data integrity in multi-cloud environment

Abstract

In cloud environment, huge quantity of data has been generated at each and every second. In order to manage the data, cloud service provider makes use of multi-cloud platform to fulfill the requirement. The service provider cooperatively operates altogether for the accessibility of resources and are improvised by implementing the dynamic operation that can run at a time through the Multi-cloud environment. This paper presents a Dynamic Level Based Integrity Checking Protocol (DA-ICP) for storing data in multicloud environment. The proposed method introduces Provable Data Possession (PDP) approach which enables a user who outsources the data at an untrusted multi-cloud for ensuring that the server possesses the original data without downloading it. This model creates a probabilistic proof of possession by sampling an arbitrary collection of blocks from server that considerably minimizes the cost. The effective and secured outsourced data has been resolved using public key cryptography and undergo encryption using Efficient-PDP (EPDP). During experimentation, the presented DA-ICP shows a maximum accuracy of 96.78%. The proposed method uses Multi-cloud in DA-ICP which produces an efficient output than other existing techniques.
