Security Analysis of Delegable and Proxy Provable Data Possession in Public Cloud Storage

Cloud storage is now an important development trend in information technology. However, information security has become an important problem to impede it for commercial application, such as data confidentiality, integrity,and availability. In this paper, we revisit the two private PDP schemes. We show that the property of correctness cannot be achieved when active adversaries are involved in these auditing systems. More specifically, an active adversary can arbitrarily tamper the cloud data and produce a valid auditing. Moreover,the malicious CSS can put the auditing right to entrust to anyone and control the delegation key and lead to the failure of the subsequent validation work. We also propose a solution to resolve the weakness in these schemes.
