In the current era of cloud computing, Cloud storage is a significant service of cloud computing where data stored in the cloud is being generated at high speed and thus the cloud storage system has become one of the key components in cloud computing. Data owner host their data and data consumers can use the data on and from the server. The security issue arises due to the data outsourcing. Thi...

Recently, Worku et al. pointed out that the work “privacy-preserving public auditing for data storage security in cloud computing” proposed by Wang et al. is insecure and their second work “privacypreserving public auditing for secure cloud the storage” is inefficient. Thus, they offered a secure and efficient-privacy public auditing scheme for cloud storage. They claimed that their system is p...
