Improved verifiability scheme for data storage in cloud computing

Abstract

In Cloud computing, data and service requests are responded by remote processes calls on huge data server clusters that are not totally trusted. The new computing pattern may cause many potential security threats. This paper explores how to ensure the integrity and correctness of data storage in cloud computing with user’s key pair. In this paper, we aim mainly at constructing of a quick data chunk verifying scheme to maintain data in data center by implementing a balance strategy of cloud computing costs, removing the heavy computing load of clients, and applying an automatic data integrity maintenance method. In our scheme, third party auditor (TPA) is kept in the scheme, for the sake of the client, to periodically check the integrity of data blocks stored in data center. Our scheme supports quick public data integrity verification and chunk redundancy strategy. Compared with the existing scheme, it takes the advantage of ocean data support and high performance.
