Cloud server provider may maliciously tamper or delete user’s data for their own benefit, so data integrity audit is of great significance to verify whether data is modified or not. Based on the general three-party audit architecture, a dynamic auditing scheme without bilinear pairings is proposed in this paper. It utilizes exponential operation instead of bilinear mapping to verify the validity of evidence. By establishing the mapping relation between logic index and tag index of data block with index transformation table, our scheme can easily support dynamic data operation. By hiding random numbers in the integrity evidence, our scheme can protect users’ privacy information. Detailed security analysis shows that our scheme is secure against attacks such as forgery, replaying and substitution. Further experiments demonstrate that our scheme has lower computational overhead.
