TLDR
This paper defines and explores proofs of retrievability (PORs), a POR scheme that enables an archive or back-up service to produce a concise proof that a user can retrieve a target file F, that is, that the archive retains and reliably transmits file data sufficient for the user to recover F in its entirety.Abstract:
In this paper, we define and explore proofs of retrievability (PORs). A POR scheme enables an archive or back-up service (prover) to produce a concise proof that a user (verifier) can retrieve a target file F, that is, that the archive retains and reliably transmits file data sufficient for the user to recover F in its entirety.A POR may be viewed as a kind of cryptographic proof of knowledge (POK), but one specially designed to handle a large file (or bitstring) F. We explore POR protocols here in which the communication costs, number of memory accesses for the prover, and storage requirements of the user (verifier) are small parameters essentially independent of the length of F. In addition to proposing new, practical POR constructions, we explore implementation considerations and optimizations that bear on previously explored, related schemes.In a POR, unlike a POK, neither the prover nor the verifier need actually have knowledge of F. PORs give rise to a new and unusual security definition whose formulation is another contribution of our work.We view PORs as an important tool for semi-trusted online archives. Existing cryptographic techniques help users ensure the privacy and integrity of files they retrieve. It is also natural, however, for users to want to verify that archives do not delete or modify files prior to retrieval. The goal of a POR is to accomplish these checks without users having to download the files themselves. A POR can also provide quality-of-service guarantees, i.e., show that a file is retrievable within a certain time bound.read more

TL;DR: Ateniese et al. as discussed by the authors introduced the provable data possession (PDP) model, which allows a client that has stored data at an untrusted server to verify that the server possesses the original data without retrieving it.

Enabling Public Auditability and Data Dynamics for Storage Security in Cloud Computing
TL;DR: To achieve efficient data dynamics, the existing proof of storage models are improved by manipulating the classic Merkle Hash Tree construction for block tag authentication, and an elegant verification scheme is constructed for the seamless integration of these two salient features in the protocol design.

Insecurity of an efficient privacy-preserving public auditing scheme for cloud data storage
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that even deleting all the files of a data owner, a malicious cloud server is able to generate a response to a challenge without being caught by TPA in their enhanced but unrealistic security model.

TL;DR: This work considers allowing a third party auditor to preprocess data on behalf of cloud users before uploading them to cloud service providers and then verifying data integrity afterward, and proposes an efficient and robust scheme to maintain data integrity in cases that involve public auditing.

Proofs of Data Residency: Checking whether Your Cloud Files Have Been Relocated
TL;DR: This work focuses on data residency -- a notion that requires outsourced data to be retrievable in its entirety from local drives of a storage server in-question, and formulate such notion under a security model called Proofs of Data Residency (PoDR).
