Dynamic and Public Auditing With Fair Arbitration For Cloud Data
Cloud Data
Abstract
Cloud computing is an emerging data interactive paradigm to realize users' data remotely
stored in an online cloud server. Cloud services provide great conveniences for the users to
enjoy the on-demand cloud applications without considering the local infrastructure
limitations. During the data accessing, different users may be in a collaborative relationship,
and thus data sharing becomes significant to achieve productive benefits. The existing
security solutions mainly focus on the authentication to realize that a user's privative data
cannot be illegally accessed, but neglect a subtle privacy issue during a user challenging
the cloud server to request other users for data sharing. The challenged access request itself
may reveal the user's privacy no matter whether or not it can obtain the data access
permissions. In this paper, we propose a shared authority based privacy-
reserving authenticationprotocol (SAPA) to address above privacy issue for cloud storage. In
the SAPA, 1) shared access authority is achieved by anonymous access request matching
mechanism with security and privacy considerations (e.g., authentication, data anonymity,
user privacy, and forward security); 2) attribute based access control is adopted to realize that
the user can only access its own data fields; 3) proxy re-encryption is applied to provide
data sharing among the multiple users. Meanwhile, universal composability (UC) model is
established to prove that the SAPA theoretically has the design correctness. It indicates that
the proposed protocol is attractive for multi-user collaborative cloud applications.
