A fibonacci based batch auditing protocol for cloud data

Abstract

As cloud storage is developing fast with time going by, the design of auditing protocols has caught a large number of researchers’ eyes. However, though most of the existing auditing protocols have considered batch auditing to save resources in the auditor side, the design of methods to locate the specific positions of the corrupted data blocks is ignored. In this paper, we propose a novel batch auditing protocol based on the Fibonacci sequence to save resources in the cloud, which is an extension of our previous work. Experimental results and numerical analysis indicate that the proposed scheme is efficient.
