Enhancing Seekable Sequential Key Generators along with FSS Scheme for Secure Logging in the Cloud
V. Vijaya Chandra Rao, A. Suresh Babu · 2013
The need for secure logging is well-understood by the security professionals, together with each researchers and practitioners. The flexibility to the accuracy verifies all (or some) log entries is very important to any application using secure logging techniques. During this paper, we start by examining progressive in secure logging and determine some issues inherent to systems supported trusty third-party servers in the cloud. We tend to then propose a distinct approach to secure logging primarily based upon recently developed Forward-Secure consecutive aggregate (FssAgg) authentication techniques. Our approach offers each space-efficiency and obvious security. we tend to illustrate two concrete schemes - one private-verifiable and one public- verifiable - that provide sensible secure logging with none reliance on on-line trustworthy third parties or secure hardware. We tend to additionally investigate the thought of immutability within the context of forward secure sequential aggregate authentication to produce finer grained verification. Finally, we tend to report on some expertise with a prototype built upon a preferred code version control system.
