Abstract: Thus the new auditing scheme has been developed by considering all these requirements. It consist of three entities: data owner, TPA and cloud server. The data owner performs various operations such as splitting the file to blocks, encrypting them, generating a hash value for each, concatenating it and generating a signature on it. The TPA performs the main role of data integrity check. It performs activities like generating hash value for encrypted blocks received from cloud server, concatenating them and generates signature on it. It later compares both the signatures to verify whether the data stored on cloud is tampered or not. It verifies the integrity of data on demand of the users. The cloud server is used only to save the encrypted blocks of data. This proposed auditing scheme make use of AES algorithm for encryption, SHA-2 for integrity check and RSA signature for digital signature calculation. In this philosophy, users of cloud storage services no longer physically maintain direct control over their data, which makes data security one of the major concerns of using cloud. Existing research work already allows data integrity to be verified without possession of the actual data file. When the verification is done by a trusted third party, this verification process is also called data auditing, and this third party is called an auditor. As a result, every small update will cause re-computation and updating of the authenticator for an entire file block, which in turn causes higher storage and communication overheads. In this paper, we provide a formal analysis for possible types of fine-grained data updates and propose a scheme that can fully support authorized auditing and fine-grained update requests. Basedon our scheme, we also propose an enhancement that can dramatically reduce communication overheads for verifying small updates Keywords: Cloud computing, big data, data security, authorized auditing, fine-grained dynamic data update

Cloud storage is one among the service provided by Cloud computing within which information is maintained, managed, secured remotely and created available to users over a network. The user concerning about the integrity of data hold on within the cloud because the user’s data will be attacked or changed by outside attacker. Therefore, a new thought referred to as information auditing is introduced that check the integrity of knowledge with the assistance of an entity referred to as Third Party Auditor (TPA). The aim of this work is to develop an auditing scheme that is secure, economical to use and possess the capabilities like privacy conserving, public auditing, maintaining the information integrity together with confidentiality. It comprises 3 entities: data owner, TPA and cloud server. The data owner performs numerous operations like splitting the file to blocks, encrypting them, generating a hash value for every, concatenating it and generating a signature on that. The TPA performs the main role of knowledge integrity check. It performs activities like generating hash value for encrypted blocks received from cloud server, concatenating them and generates signature on that. It later compares each the signatures to verify whether or not the information stored on cloud is tampered or not. It verifies the integrity of data on demand of the users. To make sure data protection or security of cloud data storage at cloud end, security architecture is designed that secures the data using encryption/decryption algorithm where the proposed algorithm is a hybrid encryption algorithm that uses the concept of EC-RSA, AES algorithm and Blowfish algorithm along with SHA-256 for auditing purpose. Presented experiment results show that the proposed concept is reasonable, it enhancing efficiency about 40% in terms of execution time i.e. encryption as well as decryption time and security and providing confidentiality of cloud data at could end.


In Cloud Storage Server, data integrity plays an important role, given cloud clients might not be aware whether the data is safe or has been tampered with. This system introduces identity-based signature algorithms to protect data that belongs to the data owner and gets the status of cloud data by means of verification through signatures. Since it is practically not possible for the data owner to be available online all the time for checking cloud data integrity, Third party auditor is tasked with verifying the data integrity every time instead of data owner. The Third party auditors should not read the cipher text data while verifying and must authenticate itself to cloud server by performing Proof of Knowledge operation; then cloud server can reveal the sensitive data as block wise and the third party auditor can verify the signature without knowledge of cipher text data. Finally, an audit report is sent to the data owner. This work demonstrates data security and integrity in the cloud..

These days, Cloud storage is gaining importance among individual and institutional users. Individual and foundations looks for cloud server as a capacity medium to diminish their capacity load under nearby devices. In such storage services, it is necessary to avoid duplicate content/repetitive storage of same data to be avoided. By reducing the duplicate content in cloud storage reduces storage cost. De-duplication is necessary when multiple data owner outsource the same data, issues related to security and ownership to be considered. As the cloud server is always considered to be non trusted, as it is maintained by third party, thus the data stored in cloud is always encrypted and uploaded, thus randomization property of encryption affects de-duplication. It is necessary to propose a serverside de-duplication scheme for handling encrypted data. The proposed scheme allows the cloud server to control access to outsourced data even when the ownership changes dynamically.

With the rapid development of cloud storage, more and more resource-constraint data owners can employ cloud storage services to reduce the heavy local storage overhead. However, the local data owners lose the direct control over their data, and all the operations over the outsourced data, such as data transfer and deletion, will be executed by the remote cloud server. As a result, the data transfer and deletion have become two security issues because the selfish remote cloud server might not honestly execute these operations for economic benefits. In this article, we design a scheme that aims to make the data transfer and the transferred data deletion operations more transparent and publicly verifiable. Our proposed scheme is based on vector commitment (VC), which is used to deal with the problem of public verification during the data transfer and deletion. More specifically, our new scheme can provide the data owner with the ability to verify the data transfer and deletion results. In addition, by using the advantages of VC, our proposed scheme does not require any trusted third party. Finally, we prove that the proposed scheme not only can reach the expected security goals but also can satisfy the efficiency and practicality.


At present Cloud computing is a very successful paradigm for data computing and storage. It Increases the concerns about data security and privacy in the cloud. Paper covers cloud security and privacy research, while focusing on the works that protect data confidentiality and privacy for sensitive data being stored and queried in the cloud. As Survey enlist all the research carried out related to data security and users privacy preserving techniques in detail. Data sharing can be achieved with sensitive information hiding with remote data integrity auditing, propose a new concept called identity based shared data integrity auditing with sensitive information hiding for secure cloud storage. Initially every data would be outsourced to the cloud only after authorized or activated by the proxy. The key would be generated to the file randomly by the key generation Centre. The transaction details such as key mismatch, file upload and download, hacking details would be shown to the proxy and cloud server. If the match occurs, automatically file would be recovered by the user even if hacker access or tamper the file. The main motive is to ensure that when the cloud properly stores the user’s sanitized data, the proof it generates can pass the verification of the third party auditor. And the paper provides various research work done in the field

Background: Cloud storage is generally used to provide on-demand services with sufficient scalability in an efficient network environment, and various encryption algorithms are typically applied to protect the data in the cloud. However, it is non-trivial to obtain the original data after encryption and efficient methods are needed to access the original data. Methods: In this paper, we propose a new user-controlled and efficient encrypted data sharing model in cloud storage. It preprocesses user data to ensure the confidentiality and integrity based on triple encryption scheme of CP-ABE ciphertext access control mechanism and integrity verification. Moreover, it adopts secondary screening program to achieve efficient ciphertext retrieval by using distributed Lucene technology and fine-grained decision tree. In this way, when a trustworthy third party is introduced, the security and reliability of data sharing can be guaranteed. To provide data security and efficient retrieval, we also combine active user with active system. Results: Experimental results show that the proposed model can ensure data security in cloud storage services platform as well as enhance the operational performance of data sharing. Conclusion: The proposed security sharing mechanism works well in an actual cloud storage environment.

In an outsourced database service model, query assurance takes an important role among well-known security issues. To the best of our knowledge, however, none of the existing research work has dealt with ensuring the query assurance for outsourced tree-indexed data. To address this issue, the system must prove authenticity and data integrity, completeness, and freshness guarantees for the result set. These objectives imply that data in the result set is originated from the actual data owner and has not been tampered with; the server did not omit any tuples matching the query conditions; and the result set was generated with respect to the most recent snapshot of the database. In this paper, we propose a vanguard solution to provide query assurance for outsourced tree-indexed data on untrusted servers with high query assurance and at reasonable costs. Experimental results with real datasets confirm the effciency of our approach and theoretical analyses.

Recently the technologies are growing fast, so they have become the point of source and also the sink for data. Data is generated in large volume introducing the concept of structured and unstructured data evolving "Big Data" which needs large memory for storage. There are two possible solutions either increase the local storage or use the Cloud Storage. Cloud makes data available to the user anytime, anywhere, anything. Cloud allows the user to store their data virtually without investing much. However, this data is on cloud raising a concern of data security and recovery. This attack is made by the untrusted or unauthorized user remotely. The attacker may modify, delete or replace the data. Therefore, different models are proposed for a data integrity check and proof of retrievability. This paper includes the literature review related to various techniques for data integrity, data recovery and proof of retrievability.

Data integrity is one of the biggest concerns with cloud data storage for cloud user. Besides, the cloud user’s constrained computing capabilities make the task of data integrity auditing expensive and even formidable. Recently, a proof-of-retrievability scheme proposed by Yuan et al. has addressed the issue, and security proof of the scheme was provided. Unfortunately, in this work we show that the scheme is insecure. Namely, the cloud server who maliciously modifies the data file can pass the verification, and the client who executes the cloud storage auditing can recover the whole data file through the interactive process. Furthermore, we also show that the protocol is vulnerable to an efficient active attack, which means that the active attacker is able to arbitrarily modify the cloud data without being detected by the auditor in the auditing process. After giving the corresponding attacks to Yuan et al.’s scheme, we suggest a solution to fix the problems.


The most data intensive industry today is the healthcare system. The advancement in technology has revolutionized the traditional healthcare practices and led to enhanced E-Healthcare System. Modern healthcare systems generate voluminous amount of digital health data. These E-Health data are shared between patients and among groups of physicians and medical technicians for processing. Due to the demand for continuous availability and handling of these massive E-Health data, mostly these data are outsourced to cloud storage. Being cloud-based computing, the sensitive patient data is stored in a third-party server where data analytics are performed, hence more concern about security raises. This paper proposes a secure analytics system which preserves the privacy of patients’ data. In this system, before outsourcing, the data are encrypted using Paillier homomorphic encryption which allows computations to be performed over encrypted dataset. Then Decision Tree Machine Learning algorithm is used over this encrypted dataset to build the classifier model. This encrypted model is outsourced to cloud server and the predictions about patient’s health status is displayed to the user on request. In this system nowhere the data is decrypted throughout the process which ensures the privacy of patients’ sensitive data.
