Survey on Cloud Computing Techniques for Data Integrity Checking

Abstract

Cloud computing is a term that used instead of internet to describe the infrastructure, software services and storage via internet. Large data centers are available in cloud for remotely store user data. The users have no data control privileges when the data transferred to the Cloud and they are not aware of any security risk. Data can be altered by unauthorized user, threats and dishonest server. Farther more, Data which are either unused for a long a time or takes large memory space can be deleted by cloud service provider. The main issue of cloud computing today is data integrity and how can be maintaining. There for, security challenges users are need to ensure that their data are integral by periodically Data integrity checking. Several integrity checking techniques have been proposed to ensure the data integrity in cloud storage. This paper provides a survey of various data integrity checking techniques for cloud data stored. Objective of this survey focusing on existing integrity check techniques for cloud data storage and presenting their characteristics, benefits, functionality and limitations.
