Towards Immutability: A Secure and Efficient Auditing Framework for Cloud Supporting Data Integrity and File Version Control. (arXiv:2308.04453v1 [cs.CR])

Although wide-scale integration of cloud services with myriad applications
increases quality of services (QoS) for enterprise users, verifying the
existence and manipulation of stored cloud information remains an open research
problem. Decentralized blockchain-based solutions are becoming more appealing
for cloud auditing environments because of the immutable nature of blockchain.
However, the decentralized structure of blockchain results in considerable
synchronization and communication overhead, which increases maintenance costs
for cloud service providers (CSP). This paper proposes a Merkle Hash Tree based
architecture …
