Title
Blockchain-Based Publicly Verifiable Cloud Storage
Abstract
Cloud storage adoption, due to the growing popularity of IoT solutions, is steadily on the rise, and ever more critical to services and businesses. In light of this trend, customers of cloud-based services are increasingly reliant, and their interests correspondingly at stake, on the good faith and appropriate conduct of providers at all times, which can be misplaced considering that data is the "new gold", and malicious interests on the provider side may conjure to misappropriate, alter, hide data, or deny access. A key to this problem lies in identifying and designing protocols to produce a trail of all interactions between customers and providers, at the very least, and make it widely available, auditable and its contents therefore provable. This work introduces preliminary results of this research activity, in particular including scenarios, threat models, architecture, interaction protocols and security guarantees of the proposed blockchain-based solution.
