scholarly journals An Adaptive Methodology for Integrity Checking in Cloud Storage

Majority of the organization uses cloud for storage purpose in order to reduce the cost as well as maintenance. Due to increasing threat from internal and external sources, there would be possibility of corruption in the cloud storage files. Thus the storage must to be monitored periodically for integrity checking. Since most of the Data Owners have limited resources thus the responsibility of integrity checking goes to the Third Party Auditors (TPA). Usually the static way of deciding to use particular hash tree methodology to store the cloud storage meta-data, which is mainly used for integrity checking throughout is inappropriate for two main reasons, firstly, due to more fluctuated loss or corrupted cloud data, secondly, based on the variations in the number of files in the cloud users’ directory; Initially the static approach would be good but it may not be optimal solution at the later period. therefore, in this paper, we have proposed Adaptive Integrity Checking method (AIC), which would lead a way for adaptive dynamic hash tree methodology for holding the cloud storage meta-data; which would drastically increases the performance of integrity checking in terms of both time and space complexity besides the benefits obtained in the EDHT-n version and HEDHT methodologies of handling the cloud storage integrity checking.

In this paper, we have proposed 2 methodologies of Integrity Checking in Cloud Storage (1) Enhanced Dynamic Hash Tree – n Versions (EDHT-n), which has best performance in term of time and space complexity compared to the existing methods.(2) Hybrid Enhanced Dynamic Hash Tree (HEDHT), which is best suited for very huge number of files in a directory

Using Cloud Storage, users can tenuously store their data and enjoy the on-demand great quality applications and facilities from a shared pool of configurable computing resources, without the problem of local data storage and maintenance. However, the fact that users no longer have physical possession of the outsourced data makes the data integrity protection in Cloud Computing a formidable task, especially for users with constrained dividing resources. From users’ perspective, including both individuals and IT systems, storing data remotely into the cloud in a flexible on-demand manner brings tempting benefits: relief of the burden for storage management, universal data access with independent geographical locations, and avoidance of capital expenditure on hardware, software, and personnel maintenances, etc. To securely introduce an effective Sanitizer and third party auditor (TPA), the following two fundamental requirements have to be met: 1) TPA should be able to capably audit the cloud data storage without demanding the local copy of data, and introduce no additional on-line burden to the cloud user; 2) The third party auditing process should take in no new vulnerabilities towards user data privacy. In this project, utilize and uniquely combine the public auditing protocols with double encryption approach to achieve the privacy-preserving public cloud data auditing system, which meets all integrity checking without any leakage of data. To support efficient handling of multiple auditing tasks, we further explore the technique of online signature to extend our main result into a multi-user setting, where TPA can perform multiple auditing tasks simultaneously. We can implement double encryption algorithm to encrypt the data twice and stored cloud server in Electronic Health Record applications.


Cloud Computing is a robust, less cost, and an effective platform for providing services. Nowadays, it is applied in various services such as consumer business or Information Technology (IT) carried over the Internet. This cloud computing has some risks of security because, the services which are required for its effective compilation is outsources often by the third party providers. This makes the cloud computing more hard to maintain and monitor the security and privacy of data and also its support. This sudden change in the process of storing data towards the cloud computing technology improved the concerns about different issues in security and also the various threats present in this cloud storage. In the concept of security in cloud storage, various threats and challenges are noted by recent researchers. Hence, an effective framework of providing security is required. The main aim of this paper is to analyze various issues in securing the cloud data threats present in the cloud storage and to propose a novel methodology to secure it. This paper also identifies the most crucial components that can be incorporated in the already existing security measures while designing the storage systems based on cloud. This study also provides us to identify all the available solutions for the challenges of security and privacy in cloud storage.

Cloud computing is an enormous area which shares huge amount of data over cloud services and it has been increasing with its on-demand technology. Since, with these versatile cloud services, when the delicate data stored within the cloud storage servers, there are some difficulties which has to be managed like its Security Issues, Data Privacy, Data Confidentiality, Data Sharing and its integrity over the cloud servers dynamically. Also, the authenticity and data access control should be maintained in this wide environment. Thus, Attribute based Encryption (ABE) is a significant version of cryptographic technique in the cloud computing environment. Data integrity, one of the most burning challenges in secure cloud storage. Data auditing protocols enable a verifier to efficiently check the integrity of the files without downloading the entire file from the cloud. In this paper cloud data integrity checking is performed by introducing attribute-based cloud data auditing where users can upload files to cloud through some set of attributes and specify auditor to check the integrity of data files. Existing protocols are mostly based on public key infrastructure or an exact identity, which lacks ?exibility of key management. In this research work Cloud data integrity checking is performed by introducing attribute-based cloud data auditing where users can upload files to cloud through some set of attributes and specify auditor to check the integrity of data files. Variable attributes are used to generate the private key and their performance is evaluated under variable attribute list.

The need for cloud storage grows day after day due to its reliable and scalable nature. The storage and maintenance of user data at a remote location are severe issues due to the difficulty of ensuring data privacy and confidentiality. Some security issues within current cloud systems are managed by a cloud third party (CTP), who may turn into an untrustworthy insider part. This paper presents an automated Encryption/Decryption System for Cloud Data Storage (AEDS) based on hybrid cryptography algorithms to improve data security and ensure confidentiality without interference from CTP. Three encryption approaches are implemented to achieve high performance and efficiency: Automated Sequential Cryptography (ASC), Automated Random Cryptography (ARC), and Improved Automated Random Cryptography (IARC) for data blocks. In the IARC approach, we have presented a novel encryption strategy by converting the static S-box in the AES algorithm to a dynamic S-box. Furthermore, the algorithms RSA and Twofish are used to encrypt the generated keys to enhance privacy issues. We have evaluated our approaches with other existing symmetrical key algorithms such as DES, 3DES, and RC2. Although the two proposed ARC and ASC approaches are more complicated, they take less time than DES, DES3, and RC2 in processing the data and obtaining better performance in data throughput and confidentiality. ARC outperformed all of the other algorithms in the comparison. The ARC’s encrypting process has saved time compared with other algorithms, where its encryption time has been recorded as 22.58 s for a 500 MB file size, while the DES, 3DES, and RC2 have completed the encryption process in 44.43, 135.65, and 66.91 s, respectively, for the same file size. Nevertheless, when the file sizes increased to 2.2 GB, the ASC proved its efficiency in completing the encryption process in less time.

How to verify the integrity of outsourced data is an important problem in cloud storage. Most of previous work focuses on three aspects, which are providing data dynamics, public verifiability, and privacy against verifiers with the help of a third party auditor. In this paper, we propose an identity-based data storage and integrity verification protocol on untrusted cloud. And the proposed protocol can guarantee fair results without any third verifying auditor. The theoretical analysis and simulation results show that our protocols are secure and efficient.

Abstract: Cloud computing provides customers with storage as a service, allowing data to be stored, managed, and cached remotely. Users can also access it online. A major concern for users is the integrity of the data stored in the cloud, as it is possible for external invaders or criminals to attack, repair, or destroy the data stored in the cloud. Data auditing is a trending concept that involves hiring a third-party auditor to perform a data integrity test (TPA). The main purpose of this project is to provide a safe and effective testing system that combines features such as data integrity, confidentiality, and privacy protection. The cloud server is only used to store encrypted data blocks in the proposed system. It is not subject to any additional computer verification. TPA and the data owner are in charge of all the functions of the scheme. A variety of materials are used to evaluate the proposed audit process. The proposed solution meets all the processes while minimizing the load on cloud servers. Data dynamics actions such as data review, deletion, and installation will be performed in the future.
