Cross-domain data cloud storage auditing scheme based on certificateless cryptography

With the development of Internet of things(IoT), more and more intelligent terminal devices outsource data to cloud servers(CSs). However, the CS is not fully trusted, and the heterogeneity among different domains makes it difficult for third-party auditor(TPA) to conduct an efficient integrity auditing of outsourced data. Therefore, the cross-domain data cloud storage auditing scheme based on certificateless cryptography is proposed, which can effectively avoid the big burden of certificate management or key escrow problems in identity-based cryptography. At the same time, TPA can effectively audit the integrity of outsourced data in different domains. Formal security proof and analysis show that the cloud storage auditing scheme satisfies the security and privacy requirements. Performance analysis demonstrates that the efficiency is acceptable.

Public Auditing for Encrypted Data with Client-Side Deduplication in Cloud Storage

Storage auditing and client-side deduplication techniques have been proposed to assure data integrity and improve storage efficiency, respectively. Recently, a few schemes start to consider these two different aspects together. However, these schemes either only support plaintext data file or have been proved insecure. In this paper, we propose a public auditing scheme for cloud storage systems, in which deduplication of encrypted data and data integrity checking can be achieved within the same framework. The cloud server can correctly check the ownership for new owners and the auditor can correctly check the integrity of deduplicated data. Our scheme supports deduplication of encrypted data by using the method of proxy re-encryption and also achieves deduplication of data tags by aggregating the tags from different owners. The analysis and experiment results show that our scheme is provably secure and efficient.
