4. Applications and services
that run on a distributed network
using virtualized resources and accessed
by common internet protocols and
network standards
Cloud Computing is a paradigm in
which information is permanently
stored in servers on the internet and
can be accessed from anywhere
7. Provides all the infrastructure needed to run
applications over the internet
Increased storage
Reduced cost
Flexibility
Increased mobility
Highly automated
8. -> Sometimes referred to as "on-demand software" is a
software delivery model in which software and its
associated data are hosted centrally and are typically
accessed by users
9. • ….enables you to create web
applications quickly, without the
• cost and complexity of buying and
managing the underlying software
or hardware…
No Frequent updates
Inexpensive
12. Cloud storage moves the user’s data to large data
centers, which are remotely located, on which the user
does not have any control
However there are lot of security
issues which need to be considered
Data integrity
Authentication
Small devices like PDA’s, mobiles, and laptops are
associated with limited battery power and computation
speed
13. We provide a scheme which gives a proof of data
integrity in the cloud through which the user can
verify the correctness of his data, this proof can be
termed as Proof of Retrievability (POR)
This enables individual to
entertain
Economic advantages
Zero Maintenance
Note:
-> Our scheme just checks the integrity (if the data is
illegally modified) only of static data…
14. This proof can be agreed
upon by both the cloud and
the customer and can be
incorporated in SLA.
SLA is part of service
contract where the level of
services being offered is
formally defined.
15. Key generator:
A random key is generated
Encryption:
A metadata of the file is
generated and is encrypted using any suitable algorithm
Archive:
It is the data center where the data is outsourced
Challenge:
Verification of data integrity by the user…
Response:
Proof of data integrity by data center
16. A simplest Proof of Retrievability can be made
using hash key function

17. • Computing hash value for moderately large file
might be overhead for some device like Mobiles,
PDA’s and Laptops
• For each verification request from
client the archive has to process
the entire file
• High resource cost and lot of ambiguity as a result
of maintaining secret key and number of hash
keys….
18. Proposed a theory to proof the retrievability for
large files using sentinels…. According to them

20. In this we provide a scheme of data integrity , which
the customer can utilize to check the correctness of his
data by including SLA

Developing for dynamic data will
be a future challenge
