Abstract

Data integrity verification with high security and minimal overhead is a primary prerequisite for expansion of luminous generation and perception of cloud computing. In present revolution, all the precise data and applications have conveyed towards cloud infrastructure and data center, which run on virtual computing resources in the form of virtual machine. The large scale use of virtualization brings additional security overhead for tenants of a public cloud service. In this paper, we suggested a better and efficient data integrity verification technique that help users to utilize data as a service in cloud computing. The building blocks of our technique are algebraic signature, homomorphic tag, and combinatorial batch codes. Homomorphic tags are assigned a particular verifiable value to each data blocks, which can help us for unleashed data operations on this blocks. The property of algebraic signature is used to aggregate data blocks for file operations. Combinatorial batch codes are used to assign and store integrated data into different distributed cloud server. To demonstrate our approach, we implement an application based on Hadoop and MapReduce framework. We tested this application based on various parameters. Our method has shown the tremendous improvement over the other state of the art methods. The experimental results are demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed method for data integrity verification.
