Provable Data Possession With Outsourced Data Transfer

Provable Data Possession with Outsourced Data Transfer

Abstract:

With the rapid development of cloud computing, more and more enterprises would like to upload and store their data in the public cloud. When parts of the business of an enterprise are purchased by another enterprise, the corresponding data will be transferred to the acquiring enterprise. For the usual case, how to outsource the computation cost of data transfer to the cloud? How to ensure the remote purchased data integrity? Thus, it is important to study provable data possession with outsourced data transfer (DT-PDP).  For the first time, we propose the novel concept: DT-PDP. By taking use of DTPDP, the following three security requirements is satisfied: (1) the other un-purchased data security of acquired enterprise can be ensured; (2) the purchased data integrity and privacy is ensured; (3) the data transferability’s computation can be outsourced to the public cloud servers. For the security concept of DT-PDP, we give its motivation, system model and security model. Then, we style a concrete DT-PDP scheme based on the bilinear pairings. At last, we analyze the security, efficiency and flexibility of the concrete DT-PDP scheme. It shows that our scheme is probably secure and efficient.
