A Novel Third Party Integrity Checker (TPIC) based Data Auditing for Security of the Dynamic Streaming Client Data in a Cloud Infrastructure

Abstract

With the widespread popularity of the outsourcing of streaming client data in the cloud infrastructure, lot of individuals or companies tend to store the mission critical data into the data centre's stored in the various remote locations to reduce the data storage and management cost. Nevertheless, new security challenges often arise causing threat to the data stored in the cloud. One among the security challenge is the checking the correctness or data integrity of the stored data. This paper focuses on the Third Party Integrity Checker (TPIC) based data auditing for security of the dynamic streaming client data in a cloud infrastructure. During the integrity process the TPIC will be only containing the digital signature generated by the Hash function of the stored encrypted data and will not be aware of the actual data of the file. Hence, allowing to trust the third party checker by not storing the actual data in it. The Client data would be changing significantly over the time, this model allows the integrity checking of the periodically changing dynamic data.
