Co-Check: Collaborative Outsourced Data Auditing in Multicloud Environment
With the increasing demand for ubiquitous connectivity, wireless technology has significantly improved our daily lives. Meanwhile, together with cloud-computing technology (e.g., cloud storage services and big data processing), new wireless networking technology becomes the foundation infrastructure of emerging communication networks. Particularly, cloud storage has been widely used in services, such as data outsourcing and resource sharing, among the heterogeneous wireless environments because of its convenience, low cost, and flexibility. However, users/clients lose the physical control of their data after outsourcing. Consequently, ensuring the integrity of the outsourced data becomes an important security requirement of cloud storage applications. In this paper, we present Co-Check, a collaborative multicloud data integrity audition scheme, which is based on BLS (Boneh-Lynn-Shacham) signature and homomorphic tags. According to the proposed scheme, clients can audit their outsourced data in a one-round challenge-response interaction with low performance overhead. Our scheme also supports dynamic data maintenance. The theoretical analysis and experiment results illustrate that our scheme is provably secure and efficient
A COMPREHENSIVE STUDY OF CRYPTOGRAPHY AND KEY MANAGEMENT BASED SECURITY IN CLOUD COMPUTING
Cloud computing is a cost effective flexible and proven delivery platform for providing consumer IT services or business services over internet. It has an ability to provide many services over internet. It not only provides computing services but additional computing resources. To interact with various services in the cloud and to store retrieve data from cloud several security mechanism is required. Cryptography and key management mechanism are one of the import services in the cloud to secure data. In this context, this paper investigates the basic problem of cloud computing with cryptography and key management system for enabling support of interoperability between cloud cryptography client and key management services

S-FaaS: Trustworthy and Accountable Function-as-a-Service using Intel SGX
Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) is a recent and already very popular paradigm in
cloud computing. The function provider need only specify the function to be
run, usually in a high-level language like JavaScript, and the service provider
orchestrates all the necessary infrastructure and software stacks. The function
provider is only billed for the actual computational resources used by the
function invocation. Compared to previous cloud paradigms, FaaS requires
significantly more fine-grained resource measurement mechanisms, e.g. to
measure compute time and memory usage of a single function invocation with
sub-second accuracy. Thanks to the short duration and stateless nature of
functions, and the availability of multiple open-source frameworks, FaaS
enables non-traditional service providers e.g. individuals or data centers with
spare capacity. However, this exacerbates the challenge of ensuring that
resource consumption is measured accurately and reported reliably. It also
raises the issues of ensuring computation is done correctly and minimizing the
amount of information leaked to service providers.
To address these challenges, we introduce S-FaaS, the first architecture and
implementation of FaaS to provide strong security and accountability guarantees
backed by Intel SGX. To match the dynamic event-driven nature of FaaS, our
design introduces a new key distribution enclave and a novel transitive
attestation protocol. A core contribution of S-FaaS is our set of resource
measurement mechanisms that securely measure compute time inside an enclave,
and actual memory allocations. We have integrated S-FaaS into the popular
OpenWhisk FaaS framework. We evaluate the security of our architecture, the
accuracy of our resource measurement mechanisms, and the performance of our
implementation, showing that our resource measurement mechanisms add less than
6.3% latency on standardized benchmarks
Data Auditing and Security in Cloud Computing: Issues, Challenges and Future Directions
Cloud computing is one of the significant development that utilizes progressive computational power and upgrades data distribution and data storing facilities. With cloud information services, it is essential for information to be saved in the cloud and also distributed across numerous customers. Cloud information repository is involved with issues of information integrity, data security and information access by unapproved users. Hence, an autonomous reviewing and auditing facility is necessary to guarantee that the information is effectively accommodated and used in the cloud. In this paper, a comprehensive survey on the state-of-art techniques in data auditing and security are discussed. Challenging problems in information repository auditing and security are presented. Finally, directions for future research in data auditing and security have been discussed
