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.

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.

On the Security of Three Public Auditing Schemes in Cloud Computing.

TL;DR: This work study three auditing schemes for stored data including the public auditing scheme with user revocation, the proxy provable data possession and the identity-based remote data possession checking to show that an active adversary can arbitrary alter the cloud data to generate the valid auditing response which can pass the verification.
