Cloud storage provides elastic storage services for enterprises and individuals remotely. However, security problems such as data integrity are becoming a major obstacle. Recently, blockchain-based verification approaches have been extensively studied to get rid of a centralized third-party auditor. Most of these schemes suffer from poor scalability and low search efficiency and even fail to support data dynamic update operations on blockchain, which limits their large-scale and practical applications. In this work, we propose a blockchain-based dynamic data integrity verification scheme for cloud storage with T-Merkle hash tree. A decentralized scheme is proposed to eliminate the restrictions of previous centralized schemes. The data tags are generated by the technique of ZSS short signature and stored on blockchain. An improved verification method is designed to check the integrity of cloud data by transferring computation from a verifier to cloud server and blockchain. Furthermore, a storage structure called T-Merkle hash tree which is built based on T-tree and Merkle hash tree is designed to improve storage utilization of blockchain and support binary search on chain. Moreover, we achieve efficient and secure dynamic update operations on blockchain by an append-only manner. Besides, we extend our scheme to support batch verification to handle massive tasks simultaneously; thus, the efficiency is improved and communication cost is reduced. Finally, we implemented a prototype system based on Hyperledger Fabric to validate our scheme. Security analysis and performance studies show that the proposed scheme is secure and efficient.

Although cloud storage provides convenient data outsourcing services, an untrusted cloud server frequently threatens the integrity and security of the outsourced data. Therefore, it is extremely urgent to design security schemes allowing the users to check the integrity of data with acceptable computational and communication overheads. In this paper, we first propose a public data integrity verification scheme based on the algebraic signature and elliptic curve cryptography. This scheme not only allows the third party authority deputize for users to verify the outsourced data integrity, but also resists malicious attacks such as replay attacks, replacing attack and forgery attacks. Data privacy is guaranteed by symmetric encryption. Furthermore, we construct a novel data structure named divide and conquer hash list, which can efficiently perform data updating operations, such as deletion, insertion, and modification. Compared with the relevant schemes in the literature, security analysis and performance evaluations show that the proposed scheme gains some advantages in integrity verification and dynamic updating.

Abstract In the process of multi-cloud storage data migration, data integrity is vulnerable to corruption, but the existing data integrity verification schemes for data migration across clouds are not highly reliable. To address this problem, a blockchain-based data integrity verification scheme for migration across clouds is proposed in this paper. In this scheme, a blockchain network is used instead of a third-party auditor. For each migration, a multi-cloud broker will send an integrity verification request to blockchain at three different times, and a smart contract will verify the data integrity according to the RSA-based homomorphic verification tags. Then, the security of the scheme is analyzed. Finally, simulation experiments and tests are conducted on Ethereum, and the results show the feasibility of the scheme.

With the large-scale application of cloud storage, how to ensure cloud data integrity has become an important issue. Although many methods have been proposed, they still have their limitations. This paper improves some defects of the previous methods and proposes an efficient cloud data integrity verification scheme based on blockchain. In this paper, we proposed a lattice signature algorithm to resist quantum computing and introduced cuckoo filter to simplify the computational overhead of the user verification phase. Finally, the decentralized blockchain network is introduced to replace traditional centralized audit to publicize and authenticate the verification results, which improves the transparency and the security of this scheme. Security analysis shows that our scheme can resist malicious attacks and experimental results show that our scheme has high efficiency, especially in the user verification phase.

In recent years, people have paid more and more attention to cloud data. However, because users do not have absolute control over the data stored on the cloud server, it is necessary for the cloud storage server to provide evidence that the data are completely saved to maintain their control over the data. Give users all management rights, users can independently install operating systems and applications and can choose self-service platforms and various remote management tools to manage and control the host according to personal habits. This paper mainly introduces the cloud data integrity verification algorithm of sustainable computing accounting informatization and studies the advantages and disadvantages of the existing data integrity proof mechanism and the new requirements under the cloud storage environment. In this paper, an LBT-based big data integrity proof mechanism is proposed, which introduces a multibranch path tree as the data structure used in the data integrity proof mechanism and proposes a multibranch path structure with rank and data integrity detection algorithm. In this paper, the proposed data integrity verification algorithm and two other integrity verification algorithms are used for simulation experiments. The experimental results show that the proposed scheme is about 10% better than scheme 1 and about 5% better than scheme 2 in computing time of 500 data blocks; in the change of operation data block time, the execution time of scheme 1 and scheme 2 increases with the increase of data blocks. The execution time of the proposed scheme remains unchanged, and the computational cost of the proposed scheme is also better than that of scheme 1 and scheme 2. The scheme in this paper not only can verify the integrity of cloud storage data but also has certain verification advantages, which has a certain significance in the application of big data integrity verification.

Though Cloud storage has developed rapidly in recent years, there still exist some problems obviously. Provable Data Possession (PDP) is proposed to solve the problem of data integrity verification at untrusted cloud stores. This study built a new delegation Provable Data Possession (delegation-PDP), which solves problem when the client has no ability to check its remote data. We study the delegation-PDP and use proxy re-encryption to design it. Then we use the improved Elgamal-based algorithm to implement the scheme. Through security analysis and performance analysis, our protocol is provable secure and efficient.

Cloud storage provides a potential solution replacing physical disk drives in terms of prominent outsourcing services. A threaten from an untrusted server affects the security and integrity of the data. However, the major problem between the data integrity and cost of communication and computation is directly proportional to each other. It is hence necessary to develop a model that provides the trade-off between the data integrity and cost metrics in cloud environment. In this paper, we develop an integrity verification mechanism that enables the utilisation of cryptographic solution with algebraic signature. The model utilises elliptic curve digital signature algorithm (ECDSA) to verify the data outsources. The study further resists the malicious attacks including forgery attacks, replacing attacks and replay attacks. The symmetric encryption guarantees the privacy of the data. The simulation is conducted to test the efficacy of the algorithm in maintaining the data integrity with reduced cost. The performance of the entire model is tested against the existing methods in terms of their communication cost, computation cost, and overhead cost. The results of simulation show that the proposed method obtains reduced computational of 0.25% and communication cost of 0.21% than other public auditing schemes.
