Title
New group user based privacy preserving cloud auditing protocol
Abstract
Cloud storage is now a very popular service for many enterprises and their users. However, ensuring the integrity of the outsourced data is a very challenging problem. The concept of provable data possession is very effective for solving this problem. Based on this concept, in this paper we propose a new group-user-based privacy-preserving secure cloud auditing protocol for enterprise users and analyse its security. This protocol is also constructed on a recently proposed lightweight and privacy-preserving secure cloud auditing scheme for group users via a third-party medium. We point out that scheme is not secure and that the authenticators corresponding to the outsourced data blocks can be easily forged, that means the cloud servers can delete all the outsourced data but can still give correct proof for the possession of outsourced data, while our protocol has no such shortcoming. The performance analysis results demonstrate that our proposal is very practical and can have large-scale applications.
