1 Result Paper on Public Auditing by using kerberos to secure cloud storage Ved M. Kshirsagar, Prof. Information Technology, Computer Science, SGBAU University Amravati, Maharashtra, India Abstract cloud computing is an environment which enables convenient, efficient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources ( , networks, servers, storage , applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction. cloud is kind of centralized database where many organizations/clients store their data, retrieve data and possibly modify data. using cloud storage , users can remotely store their data and enjoy the on-demand high-quality applications and services from a shared pool of configurable computing resources, without the burden of local data storage and maintenance.

2 Data stored and retrieved in such a way may not be fully trustworthy so here concept of TPA (Third Party Auditor) is used. Thus, enabling Public auditability for cloud storage is of critical importance so that users can resort to a third-party auditor (TPA) to check the integrity of outsourced data and be worry free. To securely introduce an effective TPA, the Auditing process should bring in no new vulnerabilities toward user data privacy, and introduce no additional online burden to user. It will be our attempt to further extend the Result to enable the TPA to perform audits for multiple users simultaneously and efficiently. Extensive security by applying various encryption algorithms and kerberos as a third party authentication system shows the proposed schemes are provably secure and highly efficient.

3 Keywords Public Auditing , cloud Computing, Third Party Auditor. I. INTRODUCTION cloud computing has been envisioned as the next generation information technology (IT) architecture for enterprises, due to its long list of unprecedented advantages in the IT history: on-demand self-service, ubiquitous network access, location independent resource pooling, rapid resource elasticity, usage-based pricing and transference of risk. While cloud computing makes these advantages more appealing than ever, it also brings new and challenging security threats toward user s outsourced data. Since cloud service providers (CSP) are separate administrative entities, data outsourcing is actually relinquishing user s ultimate control over the fate of their data.

4 As a Result , the correctness of the data in the cloud is being put at risk due to the following reasons [4],[5]. CSP might reclaim storage for monetary reasons by discarding data that have not been or are rarely accessed, or even hide data loss incidents to maintain a reputation. In short, although outsourcing data to the cloud is economically attractive for long-term large-scale storage , it does not immediately offer any guarantee on data integrity and availability. Simply downloading all the data for its integrity verification is not a practical solution [3]. It is desirable that cloud only entertains verification request from a single designated party. To fully ensure the data integrity and save the cloud user s computation resources as well as online burden, it is of critical importance to enable Public Auditing service for cloud data storage , so that users may resort to an independent third-party auditor (TPA) who has expertise and capable to audit the outsourced data when needed.

5 Public auditability allows an external party, in addition to the user himself, to verify the correctness of remotely stored data [6], [12]. This severe drawback greatly affects the security of these protocols in cloud computing. It is an attempt to show the security by applying various techniques and justify the performance of proposed schemes through concrete experiments and comparisons. It is our attempt to provide security to the cloud by just simply using kerberos systems for Public auditability. Specifically, proposed scheme achieves batch Auditing where multiple delegated Auditing tasks from different users can be performed simultaneously by the TPA in a privacy-preserving manner. II.

6 Ateniese et al. are the first to consider Public auditability in their provable data possession (PDP) model for ensuring possession of data files on untrusted storages. They utilize the RSA-based homo-morphic linear authenticators for Auditing outsourced data and suggest randomly sampling a few blocks of the file. When used directly, their protocol is not provably privacy preserving, and thus may leak user data information to the external auditor [7]. Juels and B. Kaliski et a proof of retrievability (PoR) model, where spot-checking and error-correcting codes are used to ensure both possession and retrievability of data files on remote archive service systems [9]. Later, et al.

7 Also give a study on different variants of PoR with private auditability [13]. H. Shacham and B. Waters design an improved PoR scheme built from BLS signatures with proofs of security in the security model defined. Similar to the construction in, they use publicly verifiable homo-morphic linear authenticators that are built from provably secure BLS signatures [8]. C. Wang et al. consider a similar support for partially dynamic data storage in a distributed scenario with additional feature of data error localization [3], [10]. C. Erway et al. develop a skip list based scheme to also enable provable data possession with full dynamics support. However, the verification in both protocols requires the linear Ved M.

Schwarz and Miller propose the first study of checking the integrity of the remotely stored data across multiple distributed servers. Their approach is based on erasure-correcting code and efficient algebraic signatures, which also have the similar aggregation property as the homo-morphic authenticator utilized in our approach. R. Curtmola et al. aim to ensure data possession of multiple replicas across the distributed storage system. They extend the PDP scheme in to cover multiple replicas without encoding each replica separately, providing guarantee that multiple copies of data are actually maintained [7].

9 Privacy Preserving Public Auditing Proposed by Cong Wang Public Auditing allows TPA along with user to check the integrity of the outsourced data stored on a cloud & Privacy Preserving allows TPA to do Auditing without requesting for local copy of the data. It contains 4 algorithms as: 1) Key generation: It is a key generation algorithm used by the user to setup the scheme. 2) Sin generation: It is used by the user to generate verification metadata which may include digital signature. 3) Generation Proof: It is used by CS to generate a proof of data storage correctness. 4) Verify proof: Used by TPA to audit the proofs It is divided into two parts as setup phase and audit phase [3],[4],[5]. using EAP S.

10 Marium proposed use of Extensible authentication protocol (EAP) through three ways of hand shake with RSA. They provide an authentication protocol for cloud computing, lightweight and efficient as compared to SSL protocol. Challenge-handshake authentication protocol (CHAP) is used for authentication [11]. A System and Threat Model It is considered that a cloud data storage service involving three different entities, as illustrated in : the cloud user, who has large amount of data files to be stored in the cloud ; the cloud server, which is managed by the cloud service provider to provide data storage service and has significant storage space and computation resources (we will not differentiate CS and CSP hereafter); the third-party auditor, who has expertise and capabilities that cloud users do not have and is trusted to access the cloud storage service reliability on behalf of the user upon request.
