Abstract

Today cloud computing has been the most popular service enjoyed by people due to the easy maintenance provided by it. Cloud computing is cost-efficient and people pay according to the services they use. Many organizations are using cloud storage and the reason behind it is that the outsourcing services are provided by the cloud computing. Most of people do not trust the legality of the services provided by cloud (CSPs i.e. cloud service providers) because they are afraid of the security breach of their data. The public auditing of the data by their owners is a technique that can maintain the trust of people on cloud services. This research paper is about cloud storage services based on the distributed hash table (DHT).This is required for dynamic auditing of information as this is new two-dimensional data and Third-party Auditor (TPA) is responsible for recording the information to do dynamic auditing and the dimensional data is located at TPA. The computational costs gets reduced when the authorized information is migrated to the two dimensional data and the Cloud service provider shifts it to the TPA DHT has many structural advantages and the services can be updated efficiently. The comparison with the present system is also made and is assured that it is the security system for the cloud storage. To secure the data information by blinding it, random masking is provided as a proof for securing process. The authentication is done via hashing technique and integrity and performance checks are made with this authentication process.
