Cloud computing is a revolution in the IT industry due to its characteristics of scalability, efficiency, and availability. Along with these benefits, cloud computing comes with certain security issues that a user has to take into consideration. Security of data and its integrity verification in the cloud are major issues that act as a barrier to the adoption of cloud computing. In the authors' previously published work, a one-way hash function was proposed to verify the data integrity at the cloud storage site. This article further extends prior work. In this article, the modified one-way hash algorithm is implemented by using a Hadoop distributed file system (HDFS) service of Hadoop environment and analytical testing is performed to ascertain its performance. Statistical and experimental results reveal the proposed algorithm is robust, which ensures data integrity and fulfills mostly all essential features of a secure hash function.

Cloud computing has been envisioned as the definite and concerning solution to the rising storage costs of IT Enterprises. There are many cloud computing initiatives from IT giants such as Google, Amazon, Microsoft, IBM. Integrity monitoring is essential in cloud storage for the same reasons that data integrity is critical for any data centre. Data integrity is defined as the accuracy and consistency of stored data, in absence of any alteration to the data between two updates of a file or record.  In order to ensure the integrity and availability of data in Cloud and enforce the quality of cloud storage service, efficient methods that enable on-demand data correctness verification on behalf of cloud users have to be designed. To overcome data integrity problem, many techniques are proposed under different systems and security models. This paper will focus on some of the integrity proving techniques in detail along with their advantages and disadvantages.

In recent years, people have paid more and more attention to cloud data. However, because users do not have absolute control over the data stored on the cloud server, it is necessary for the cloud storage server to provide evidence that the data are completely saved to maintain their control over the data. Give users all management rights, users can independently install operating systems and applications and can choose self-service platforms and various remote management tools to manage and control the host according to personal habits. This paper mainly introduces the cloud data integrity verification algorithm of sustainable computing accounting informatization and studies the advantages and disadvantages of the existing data integrity proof mechanism and the new requirements under the cloud storage environment. In this paper, an LBT-based big data integrity proof mechanism is proposed, which introduces a multibranch path tree as the data structure used in the data integrity proof mechanism and proposes a multibranch path structure with rank and data integrity detection algorithm. In this paper, the proposed data integrity verification algorithm and two other integrity verification algorithms are used for simulation experiments. The experimental results show that the proposed scheme is about 10% better than scheme 1 and about 5% better than scheme 2 in computing time of 500 data blocks; in the change of operation data block time, the execution time of scheme 1 and scheme 2 increases with the increase of data blocks. The execution time of the proposed scheme remains unchanged, and the computational cost of the proposed scheme is also better than that of scheme 1 and scheme 2. The scheme in this paper not only can verify the integrity of cloud storage data but also has certain verification advantages, which has a certain significance in the application of big data integrity verification.

Though Cloud storage has developed rapidly in recent years, there still exist some problems obviously. Provable Data Possession (PDP) is proposed to solve the problem of data integrity verification at untrusted cloud stores. This study built a new delegation Provable Data Possession (delegation-PDP), which solves problem when the client has no ability to check its remote data. We study the delegation-PDP and use proxy re-encryption to design it. Then we use the improved Elgamal-based algorithm to implement the scheme. Through security analysis and performance analysis, our protocol is provable secure and efficient.

The hash function is the most important cryptographic primitive function and is an integral part of the blockchain data structure. Hashes are often used in cryptographic protocols, information security applications such as Digital Signatures and message authentication codes (MACs). In the current development of certificate data security, there are 2 (two) types of hashes that are widely applied, namely, MD and SHA. However, when it comes to efficiency, in this study the hash type SHA-256 is used because it can be calculated faster with a better level of security. In the hypothesis, the Merkle-Damgård construction method is also proposed to support data integrity verification. Moreover, a cryptographic hash function is a one-way function that converts input data of arbitrary length and produces output of a fixed length so that it can be used to securely authenticate users without storing passwords locally. Since basically, cryptographic hash functions have many different uses in various situations, this research resulted in the use of hash algorithms in verifying the integrity and authenticity of certificate information.

Cloud computing is ensuring the security of stored data in cloud computing servers is one of the mainly demanding issues. In Cloud numerous security issues arises such as authentication, integrity and confidentiality. Different encryption techniques attempt to overcome these data security issues to an enormous extent. Hashing algorithm plays an important role in data integrity, message authentication, and digital signature in modern information security. For security purpose using encryption algorithm like ECC (Elliptic Curve Cryptography) and Authentication of data integrity using hashing algorithms like MD5, and SHA-512. This combination method provides data security, authentication and verification for secure cloud computing.
