An extensive research survey on data integrity and deduplication towards privacy in cloud storage

Owing to the highly distributed nature of the cloud storage system, it is one of the challenging tasks to incorporate a higher degree of security towards the vulnerable data. Apart from various security concerns, data privacy is still one of the unsolved problems in this regards. The prime reason is that existing approaches of data privacy doesn't offer data integrity and secure data deduplication process at the same time, which is highly essential to ensure a higher degree of resistance against all form of dynamic threats over cloud and internet systems. Therefore, data integrity, as well as data deduplication is such associated phenomena which influence data privacy. Therefore, this manuscript discusses the explicit research contribution toward data integrity, data privacy, and data deduplication. The manuscript also contributes towards highlighting the potential open research issues followed by a discussion of the possible future direction of work towards addressing the existing problems

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

A Framework for Uncertain Cloud Data Security and Recovery Based on Hybrid Multi-User Medical Decision Learning Patterns

Machine learning has been supporting real-time cloud based medical computing systems. However, most of the computing servers are independent of data security and recovery scheme in multiple virtual machines due to high computing cost and time. Also, this cloud based medical applications require static security parameters for cloud data security. Cloud based medical applications require multiple servers to store medical records or machine learning patterns for decision making. Due to high Uncertain computational memory and time, these cloud systems require an efficient data security framework to provide strong data access control among the multiple users. In this work, a hybrid cloud data security framework is developed to improve the data security on the large machine learning patterns in real-time cloud computing environment. This work is implemented in two phases’ i.e. data replication phase and multi-user data access security phase. Initially, machine decision patterns are replicated among the multiple servers for Uncertain data recovering phase. In the multi-access cloud data security framework, a hybrid multi-access key based data encryption and decryption model is implemented on the large machine learning medical patterns for data recovery and security process. Experimental results proved that the present two-phase data recovering, and security framework has better computational efficiency than the conventional approaches on large medical decision patterns

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

Security aspects of communications in VANETs

The Fourth Industrial Revolution has begun and it promises breakthroughs in Artificial Intelligence, robotics, Machine Learning, Internet of Things, Digital Twin, and many other technologies that tackle advancements in the industries. The trend is headed towards automation and connectivity. In the automotive industry, advancements have been made towards integrating autonomous driving vehicles into Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) with the use of Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks (VANETs). The purpose of this type of network is to enable efficient communication between vehicles (V2V communication) or vehicles and infrastructure (V2I communication), to improve driving safety, to avoid traffic congestion, and to better coordinate transport networks. This direction towards limited (or lack of) human intervention implies vulnerability to cyber attacks. In this context, this paper provides a comprehensive classification of related state-of-the-art approaches following three key directions: 1) privacy, 2) authentication and 3) message integrity within VANETs.
