Title:
Towards Efficient Provable Data Possession in Cloud Storage

Authors: Jia Xu, Ee-Chien Chang, Jianying Zhou

Abstract:

Provable Data Possession (\PDP) allows data owner to periodically and remotely audit their data stored in a cloud storage, without retrieving the file and without keeping a local copy. Ateniese~\emph{et al.} (CCS 07) proposed the first {\PDP} scheme, which is very efficient in communication and storage. However their scheme requires a lot of group exponentiation operations: In the setup, one group exponentiation is required to generate a tag per each data block. In each verification, (equivalently) (m + \ell) group exponentiations are required to generate a proof, where m is the size of a data block and \ell is the number of blocks accessed during a verification. This paper proposed an efficient {\PDP} scheme. Compared to Ateniese~\emph{et al.} (CCS 07), the proposed scheme has the same complexities in communication and storage, but is more efficient in computation: In the setup, no group exponentiations are required. In each verification, only (equivalently) m group exponentiations are required to generate a proof. The security of the proposed scheme is proved under Knowledge of Exponent Assumption and Factoriztion Assumption.
