Abstract

Cloud storage is a cloud based service which delivers scalable on demand on line storage of data and eliminates the need of maintaining local data centre. Storage of data in cloud brings many advantages such as lower-cost, metered service, scalable and ubiquitous access. However, it also raises concerns to its integrity; to save the storage space cloud service provider may delete some rarely access data. Data privacy is another issue which must be addressed to increase data owner’s trust. To address above issues, many researchers have proposed public auditing schemes to validate the integrity of data using third party auditor. These schemes generate metadata using data files on the owner side and store these metadata on the cloud storage along with the file data, which helps in auditing. These schemes address many concerns which arise due to remote data storage. However, computation cost involved for metadata generation at the data owner side is not properly addressed; another issue which is not properly addressed is an iniquitous third party auditor may be the source of denial of service attack by issuing constantly large number of audit request. Our scheme solves these issues by lowering the computation cost at data owner side and controlling the number of times a third party auditor can issue an audit request to the cloud storage. Our Scheme also supports secure access of data using conditional proxy re-encryption scheme and delegation of auditing task by the authorized third party auditor to another auditor for the specified period of times in the case of unavailability of authorized third party auditor.
