A New Data Deletion Scheme for a Blockchain-based De-duplication System in the Cloud

Almost all Cloud Service Providers (CSP) takes a principled approach to the storage and deletion of Customer Data. Most of them have engineered their cloud platform to achieve a high degree of speed, availability, durability, and consistency. Their systems are designed to be optimized for these performance attributes and must be carefully balanced with the necessity to achieve accurate and timely data deletion.many researchers have turn their focus toward data storage and how it will be a challenging task for CSPs in term of storage capacity, data management and security, a considerable number of papers has been published containing new models and technique that will allow data De-duplication in a shared environment but few of them have discussed data deletion.In this paper we will be discussing a new approach that will allow a smart deletion of data stored in the file system as well as its reference in the Blockchain since, by its nature, Blockchains does not allow deletion without violating the Blockchain’s consistency, a preexisting de-duplication system will be our base platform on which we will be working to achieve an accurate and secure data deletion using Blockchain technology while preserving its consistency

Blockchain & Multi-Agent System: A New Promising Approach for Cloud Data Integrity Auditing with Deduplication

Recently, data storage represents one of the most important services in Cloud Computing. The cloud provider should ensure two major requirements which are data integrity and storage efficiency. Blockchain data structure and the efficient data deduplication represent possible solutions to address these exigencies. Several approaches have been proposed, some of them implement deduplication in Cloud server side, which involves a lot of computation to eliminate the redundant data and it becomes more and more complex. Therefore, this paper proposed an efficient, reliable and secure approach, in which the authors propose a Multi-Agent System in order to manipulate deduplication technique that permits to reduce data volumes thereby reduce storage overhead. On the other side, the loss of physical control over data introduces security challenges such as data loss, data tampering and data modification. To solve similar problems, the authors also propose Blockchain as a database for storing metadata of client files. This database serves as logging database that ensures data integrity auditing function

Efficient Method Based on Blockchain Ensuring Data Integrity Auditing with Deduplication in Cloud

With the rapid development of cloud storage, more and more cloud clients can store and access their data anytime, from anywhere and using any device. Data deduplication may be considered an excellent choice to ensure data storage efficiency. Although cloud technology offers many advantages for storage service, it also introduces security challenges, especially with regards to data integrity, which is one of the most critical elements in any system. A data owner should thus enable data integrity auditing mechanisms. Much research has recently been undertaken to deal with these issues. In this paper, we propose a novel blockchain-based method, which can preserve cloud data integrity checking with data deduplication. In our method, a mediator performs data deduplication on the client side, which permits a reduction in the amount of outsourced data and a decrease in the computation time and the bandwidth used between the enterprise and the cloud service provider. This method supports private and public auditability. Our method also ensures the confidentiality of a client's data against auditors during the auditing process

Potential Hepatoprotective Activity of Super Critical Carbon Dioxide Olive Leaf Extracts against CCl4-Induced Liver Damage

Virgin olive oil has demonstrated its effective activity against oxidative stress. However, data on the bioactive effect of olive leaves or their major constituents on the liver are scarce. The present research work was conducted to evaluate the hepatoprotective effects of supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) extracts from fresh and dried olive leaves on hepatotoxicity caused by carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) in rat models. For this purpose, healthy albino rats of 180–250 g weight were used. The assessment of biochemical markers was carried out on blood and liver tissue. Then, a histopathological study was carried out on liver tissue. The obtained results showed that fresh and dried olive leaf extracts ameliorate the perturbed biochemical parameters caused by CCl4 treatment. Furthermore, the results registered for the histopathological study are in accordance with the biochemical parameters and the protective capacity of SC-CO2 extracts against DNA damage, indicating that olive leaf extracts helped to improve liver fibrosis caused by CCl4 treatment

Biochar application mitigates salt stress on maize plant: Study of the agronomic parameters, photosynthetic activities and biochemical attributes

Climate change had caused many threats soil ecosystem, among them, soil salinity. Thus several strategies are suggested to mitigate this issue. In this context, biochar is known as a potent amendment able to alleviate the salt stress on the crops. Thus, the aim of the present investigation is to assess the impact of two salt levels (C1: 1.25 and C2: 2.5 g l−1) and two biochar rates (B1:50 g kg−1; B2: 100 g kg−1) on the agronomic, biochemical and physiological responses of maize plants (Zea mays L.). Our results revealed firstly an increase in maize biomass under salinity stress and in presence of 50g of biochar, indicating the important role of biochar in mitigating salt toxicity. Also, B1 biochar rate attenuated salt-induced oxidative stress by increasing glutathion-S-transferase (GST) and catalase (CAT) activities. Also, biochar increased chlorophyll b (Chlb) in plants treated with salt water. Overall, it can be concluded that biochar may be a useful strategy to reduce the harmful effects of salinity. However, biochar rates must be carefully used in saline soils to ameliorate plant development and reduce the toxicity of salt stress
