iAudit: Toward Efficient Pixel-Level Dynamic Image Auditing in Decentralized Storage

Résumé fourni par la source

Decentralized storage auditing approaches are designed to ensure data security in dishonest decentralized storage providers. However, the need for data updates introduces new challenges to the design of decentralized storage auditing approaches. Existing approaches can support dynamic auditing for updated files. Unfortunately, they can only deal with block-level updating, which is counter-intuitive and requires conversion from semantic changes to binary changes. Furthermore, existing dynamic auditing approaches require the recalculation of auxiliary auditing information (e.g., auditing authenticators) in data owners, which imposes unnecessary additional burdens on data owners, particularly those with constrained resources in decentralized storage environments. In this paper, we focus on image files and propose iAudit, an efficient pixel-level dynamic image auditing approach in decentralized storage. We first design a novel image authenticator with image pixels for efficient dynamic auditing, which combines convolution operations and polynomial commitment in authenticator construction. Additionally, we build an owner-free dynamic mechanism in dynamic decentralized storage auditing approach by utilizing zero-knowledge proof techniques. In this way, the dynamic operation overheads incurred by auditing can be completely eliminated from the data owners. A prototype of iAudit is implemented, and extensive experimental results demonstrate that iAudit outperforms state-of-the-art works, achieving over a 210× speedup for data owner in dynamic update phase.
