Abstract
To verify the integrity of cloud data, many cloud storage auditing schemes have been proposed. However, most of them incur a lot of computation overhead for users when data authenticators are generated or the data integrity is verified, which inevitably brings in heavy burdens to resource-constrained users. To overcome this problem, we propose a cloud storage auditing scheme for group users, which greatly reduces the computation burden on the user side. In our scheme, we introduce a Third Party Medium (TPM) to perform time-consuming operations on behalf of users. The TPM is in charge of generating authenticators for users and verifying data integrity on behalf of users. In order to protect the data privacy against the TPM, we blind data using simple operations in the phase of data uploading and data auditing. The user does not need to perform time-consuming decryption operations when using cloud data. We set an expiration time of the authorization to make sure only the TPM who possesses the authorization within valid period is able to upload data to the cloud and challenge the cloud data. The security proof and the performance analysis show that our proposed scheme is secure and efficient.
