A Scheme for Verification on Data Integrity in Mobile Multicloud Computing Environment

Abstract EN

In order to verify the data integrity in mobile multicloud computing environment, a MMCDIV (mobile multicloud data integrity verification) scheme is proposed.

First, the computability and nondegeneracy of verification can be obtained by adopting BLS (Boneh-Lynn-Shacham) short signature scheme.

Second, communication overhead is reduced based on HVR (Homomorphic Verifiable Response) with random masking and sMHT (sequence-enforced Merkle hash tree) construction.

Finally, considering the resource constraints of mobile devices, data integrity is verified by lightweight computing and low data transmission.

The scheme improves shortage that mobile device communication and computing power are limited, it supports dynamic data operation in mobile multicloud environment, and data integrity can be verified without using direct source file block.

Experimental results also demonstrate that this scheme can achieve a lower cost of computing and communications.
