Abstract

En 中文

With the widespread application of cloud storage, ensuring the integrity of user outsourced data catches more and more attention. To remotely check the integrity of cloud storage, plenty of protocols have been proposed, implemented by checking the equation constructed by the aggregated blocks, tags, and indices. However, the verifier only has the knowledge of the indices of the audited blocks and tags, which thus requires the cloud to store both data blocks and tags for integrity verification. In this article, we present a compressive secure cloud storage protocol inspired by Goldreich-Goldwasser-Halevi (GGH) cryptosystem. Since the aggregated blocks can be reconstructed from the aggregated tags without the help of data indices, the cloud can only store data tags for providing the verifiable integrity proof. In this way, communication and storage costs can be hugely reduced and user private information can be hidden from the cloud. Furthermore, the proposed protocol only contains a few basic algebraic operations, making it highly efficient. We also provide formal security proof of the proposed protocol regarding forge, replay and replace attacks. In addition, we explore a new technique to support data dynamics. Furthermore, we establish a generic framework of compressive secure cloud storage protocols. Finally, we provide the theoretical analysis and experimental results, which further validate the effectiveness of the proposed protocol.
