Lightweight and Privacy-Preserving Delegatable Proofs of Storage with Data Dynamics in Cloud Storage
Cloud storage has been in widespread use nowadays, which alleviates users’
burden of local data storage. Meanwhile, how to ensure the security and
integrity of the outsourced data stored in a cloud storage server has also
attracted enormous attention from researchers. Proofs of storage (POS) is the
main technique introduced to address this problem. Publicly verifiable POS
allows a third party to verify the data integrity on behalf of the data owner,
it significantly improves the scalability of cloud service. Even much slower
than typical network uploading speed, and thus it becomes the bottleneck of
the setup phase of the POS scheme. In this article, we propose a new variant
formulation called “Delegatable Proofs of Storage (DPOS)”.Then, we construct a
lightweight privacy-preserving DPOS scheme, which on one side is as efficient
as private POS schemes, and on the other side can support third party auditor
and can switch auditors at any time, close to the functionalities of publicly
verifiable POS schemes. Compared to traditional publicly verifiable POS
schemes. In addition, we extend our scheme to support fully dynamic operations
with high efficient, reducing the computation of any data update to O (log n)
and simultaneously only requiring constant communication costs. We prove that
our scheme is sound and privacy preserving against auditor in the standard
model. Experimental results verify the efficient performance of our scheme.
As technology continues to evolve, having a smart, efficient, secure, and affordable cloud-based point of sale system becomes key to improve business operations. Business owners need their sales data and store transactions to be accessible quickly, at all times, and from any device. Cloud technology made it possible by providing this solution.
