Auditing cloud storage for continuous storage security
Pesaru Prathyusha, A. Suresh Babu · 2013
Cloud storage permits users to remotely store their knowledge and revel in the on-demand top quality cloud applications while not the burden of native hardware and software package management. Though the advantages are clear, such a service is addition relinquishing users ’ physical possession of their outsourced knowledge, which necessarily poses new security risks towards the correctness of the knowledge in cloud. In order to deal with this new drawback and additional succeed a secure and dependable cloud storage service, we tend to propose during this paper a versatile distributed storage integrity auditing mechanism, implementing the homomorphic token and distributed erasure-coded information. The planned style permits users to audit the cloud storage with terribly light-weight communication and computation value. The auditing result not solely ensures robust cloud storage correctness guarantee, but at the same time at identical time achieves fast information error localization, i.e., the recognition of misbehaving server. Considering the cloud information are energetic in nature, the proposed design further supports secure and desirable dynamic operations on outsourced information, including block modification, deletion, and append. Analysis shows the planned theme is highly efficient and resilient against Byzantine failure, malicious data modification attack, and continuous server colluding attacks.
