Abstract
Cloud Computing (CC) migrates the application software’s and databases to the huge data hubs, where the administration of data along with services is done by the cloud provider. However, this characteristic, presents various security concerns which have not been well comprehended. Information authentication and its integrity verification are main challenges which are faced by CC today. Recently, many authors proposed hash algorithms for data integrity verification using a one way hash function. However, there are some security limitations of these existing algorithms like high time complexity and lack of proper framework. In this paper, an attempt is made to implement a secure and flexible one way hash function to eliminate these drawbacks. Furthermore, This paper present the security analysis and computation of the proposed algorithm, which shows that the proposed data integrity verification algorithm is more secure and efficient in its implementation and fulfills the performance requisites of a robust hash function.
