Abstract:Big data and its applications are attracting more and more research interests in recent years. As the new generation distributed computing platform, cloud computing is believed to be the most potent platform. With the data no longer under users’ direct control, data security in cloud computing is becoming one of the most obstacles of the proliferation of cloud. In order to improve service reliability and availability, storing multiple replicas along with original datasets is a common strategy for cloud service providers. Public data auditing schemes allow users to verify their outsourced data storage without having to retrieve the whole dataset. However, existing data auditing techniques suffers from efficiency and security problems. First, for dynamic datasets with multiple replicas, the communication overhead for update verification is very large, because verification for each update requires O(logn) communication complexity and update of all replicas. Second, to the best of our knowledge, there is no existing integrity verification schemes can provide public auditing and authentication of block indices at the same time. Without authentication of block indices, the server can build a valid proof based on data blocks other than the block client requested to verify. In order to address these problems, in this paper, we present a novel public auditing scheme named MuR-DPA. The new scheme incorporated a novel authenticated data structure based on the Merkle hash tree, which we name as MR-MHT. For support of full dynamic data updates, authentication of block indices and efficient verification of updates for multiple replicas at the same time, the level values of nodes in MR-MHT are generated in a top-down order, and all replica blocks for each data block are organized into a same replica sub-tree. Compared to existing integrity verification and public auditing schemes, theoretical analysis and experimental results show that the MuR-DPA scheme can not only incur much less communication overhead for both update and verification of datasets with multiple replicas, but also provide enhanced security against dishonest cloud service providers.
