Abstract

Under the settings of cloud storage, user’s private data is distributed and sent to different servers for storage service, thus authentication systems are required to ensure data integrity. In this paper, combining the idea of Dario Catalanno’s arithmetic circuit with Rank-based Merkle Hash Tree structure, a novel homomorphic authentication scheme is proposed. The main advantage of the proposed scheme is that the integrity of data transmission can be validated between different servers.
