Enable data privacy, dynamics, and batch in public auditing scheme for cloud storage system

Abstract

AbstractWith the popularity of cloud computing, cloud storage technology has also been widely used. Among them, data integrity verification is a hot research topic. At present, the realization of public auditing has become the development trend of integrity verification. Most existing public auditing schemes rarely consider some indispensable functions at the same time. Thus, in this article, we propose a comprehensive public auditing scheme (PDBPA) that can simultaneously support data privacy protection, data dynamics, and multi‐user batch auditing. To guarantee privacy protection during the audit process, our PDBPA design a new method of constructing audit proof, which combines random masking techniques and bilinear properties of bilinear pairing. Not only can it ensure that TPA performs audits correctly, but it can also prevent it from exploring the user's sensitive data. In addition, by utilizing the modified dynamic hash table, which is a novel and small two‐dimensional data structure, data dynamics can be effectively achieved. Furthermore, we provide a detailed process for the third‐party auditors to perform batch audits for multiple users. Moreover, we give the detailed and rigorous security analysis in defending against forgery attack, replace attack, and replay attack. Performance evaluations demonstrate that our PDBPA scheme is effective and feasible.
