Light-Weight Accountable Privacy Preserving Protocol in Cloud Computing Based on a Third-Party Auditor

Cloud computing is emerging as the next disruptive utility paradigm [1]. It provides extensive storage capabilities and an environment for application developers through virtual machines. It is also the home of software and databases that are accessible, on-demand. Cloud computing has drastically transformed the way organizations, and individual consumers access and interact with Information Technology. Despite significant advancements in this technology, concerns about security are holding back businesses from fully adopting this promising information technology trend. Third-party auditors (TPAs) are becoming more common in cloud computing implementations. Hence, involving auditors comes with its issues such as trust and processing overhead. To achieve productive auditing, we need to (1) accomplish efficient auditing without requesting the data location or introducing processing overhead to the cloud client; (2) avoid introducing new security vulnerabilities during the auditing process. There are various security models for safeguarding the CCs (Cloud Client) data in the cloud. The TPA systematically examines the evidence of compliance with established security criteria in the connection between the CC and the Cloud Service Provider (CSP). The CSP provides the clients with cloud storage, access to a database coupled with services. Many security models have been elaborated to make the TPA more reliable so that the clients can trust the third-party auditor with their data. Our study shows that involving a TPA might come with its shortcomings, such as trust concerns, extra overhead, security, and data manipulation breaches; as well as additional processing, which leads to the conclusion that a lightweight and secure protocol is paramount to the solution. As defined in [2] privacy-preserving is making sure that the three cloud stakeholders are not involved in any malicious activities coming from insiders at the CSP level, making sure to remediate to TPA vulnerabilities and that the CC is not deceitfully affecting other clients. In our survey phase, we have put into perspective the privacy-preserving solutions as they fit the lightweight requirements in terms of processing and communication costs, ending up by choosing the most prominent ones to compare with them our simulation results. In this dissertation, we introduce a novel method that can detect a dishonest TPA: The Light-weight Accountable Privacy-Preserving (LAPP) Protocol. The lightweight characteristic has been proven simulations as the minor impact of our protocol in terms of processing and communication costs. This protocol determines the malicious behavior of the TPA. To validate our proposed protocol’s effectiveness, we have conducted simulation experiments by using the GreenCloud simulator. Based on our simulation results, we confirm that our proposed model provides better outcomes as compared to the other known contending methods

Review On Preserving Privacy Identity Of Shared Data In Cloud

Cloud computing contains groups of remote servers and software networks that involve in allowing storage of data and accessing of online computer resources. Cloud contains data storage to the huge amount of data. Cloud user should be concerned with the correctness and protection of data. When user outsources remote data from storage of data as a cloud, There are Several auditing mechanism to verify the Integrity of Data. Public auditing mechanism enables the user to verify integrity of data with the help of Third Party Auditor (TPA). Public auditing mechanism start auditing task by not downloading whole file. This helps in Preserving privacy of Data. Public auditing will won’t reveal identity of any user. In the paper contains various privacy preserving public auditing mechanism. It also shows comparative study among them. DOI: 10.17762/ijritcc2321-8169.15031

Double Encryption Based Auditing Protocol Using Dynamic Operation in Cloud Storage

Using Cloud Storage, users can tenuously store their data and enjoy the on-demand great quality applications and facilities from a shared pool of configurable computing resources, without the problem of local data storage and maintenance. However, the fact that users no longer have physical possession of the outsourced data makes the data integrity protection in Cloud Computing a formidable task, especially for users with constrained dividing resources. From users? perspective, including both individuals and IT systems, storing data remotely into the cloud in a flexible on-demand manner brings tempting benefits: relief of the burden for storage management, universal data access with independent geographical locations, and avoidance of capital expenditure on hardware, software, and personnel maintenances, etc. . To securely introduce an effective third party auditor (TPA), the following two fundamental requirements have to be met: 1) TPA should be able to capably audit the cloud data storage without demanding the local copy of data, and introduce no additional on-line burden to the cloud user; 2) The third party auditing process should take in no new vulnerabilities towards user data privacy. In this project, utilize and uniquely combine the public auditing protocols with double encryption approach to achieve the privacy-preserving public cloud data auditing system, which meets all integrity checking without any leakage of data. To support efficient handling of multiple auditing tasks, we further explore the technique of online signature to extend our main result into a multi-user setting, where TPA can perform multiple auditing tasks simultaneously. We can implement double encryption algorithm encrypt the data twice and stored cloud server

Improved Third Party Auditing Approach For Shared Data In The Cloud With Efficient Revocation of User

Verify the integrity of the shared information publically, users within the cluster to ensure that shared information all got to figure out the signatures on blocks. Sharing information by different users in different blocks of information typically changes entirely by individual users are signed. Once a user has canceled the cluster, for security reasons, blocks that antecedently the revoked by signed by associate an existing user must sign in nursing again. The Direct transfer of information sharing that same methodology, half and this user to sign in again over the cancellation of existing user in nursing associate permits, mostly due to the size of share data within is disabled. Over the course of this paper, we share information with the user in mind affordable revocation is a completely unique integrity of public auditing mechanisms to propose is a trend. Proxy re-signature thought of using signatures we didn’t order that transfer existing user and blocks by themselves again to sign on behalf of the current cloud blocks users. User to sign in again over are knowledge with the rest of the latest version of the cluster is the cancellation, to allow for a trend. In addition, a public vouchers are often part of the shared although some information has been signed by the cloud while cannot share to retrieve information from the cloud, complete information to audit the integrity of is ready. In addition, our systems at the same time by multiple auditing functions to support verification, auditing is in batch. Experimental results show that our system fairly can improve the efficiency of user cancellation. DOI: 10.17762/ijritcc2321-8169.15073

A comprehensive meta-analysis of cryptographic security mechanisms for cloud computing

The file attached to this record is the author's final peer reviewed version. The Publisher's final version can be found by following the DOI link.The concept of cloud computing offers measurable computational or information resources as a service over the Internet. The major motivation behind the cloud setup is economic benefits, because it assures the reduction in expenditure for operational and infrastructural purposes. To transform it into a reality there are some impediments and hurdles which are required to be tackled, most profound of which are security, privacy and reliability issues. As the user data is revealed to the cloud, it departs the protection-sphere of the data owner. However, this brings partly new security and privacy concerns. This work focuses on these issues related to various cloud services and deployment models by spotlighting their major challenges. While the classical cryptography is an ancient discipline, modern cryptography, which has been mostly developed in the last few decades, is the subject of study which needs to be implemented so as to ensure strong security and privacy mechanisms in today’s real-world scenarios. The technological solutions, short and long term research goals of the cloud security will be described and addressed using various classical cryptographic mechanisms as well as modern ones. This work explores the new directions in cloud computing security, while highlighting the correct selection of these fundamental technologies from cryptographic point of view

Review on Secure Auditing, Preserving and Integrity of Data Using TPA on Cloud Storage

User should use the data storage without any loss as it is stored locally. Auditing process is important process to ensure integrity, user are not that skilful to maintain integrity of data and they are not aware about risk and security action. Hence so to perform user can depend on TPA (third party authentication), which will check integrity and privacy on cloud data which is stored locally.TPA audit the integrity and provides appropriate result to user. Results contain modified, deleted and uploaded information of files. User has to make sure that privacy is preserved from TPA with minimal consumption of cloud resources while auditing process. In this paper we propose a system that will provide integrity to locally stored data without downloading files avoiding additional resources and vulnerability. We further extend our result to enable the TPA to perform audits for multiple users simultaneously and efficiently. Extensive security and performance analysis show the proposed schemes are provably secure and highly efficient
