ABSTRACT Cloud computing is a vision for technologies that provide computation, software, data access, and storage services that do not require end-user knowledge of the physical location and configuration of the system that delivers the services. By data outsourcing, users can be relieved from the burden of local data storage and maintenance. Cloud computing moves the application software and databases to the centralized large data centers, where the management of the data and services may not be fully trustworthy. Here comes the problem of ensuring the Integrity of the data stored in the cloud computing. In order to provide trustworthy environment, third Party Auditor (TPA) has been securely introduced, on behalf of the cloud client to maintain and verify the Integrity of the data in cloud. TPA should be able to efficiently audit the cloud data storage and should not provide any vulnerability towards user data integrity. TPA stores the log file information of the data stored in the cloud by the users. TPA audits the data stored in the cloud by block tag authentication. The user also can verify whether the TPA has indeed performed the specified audit task. TPA performs the auditing by sending queries to the cloud server and retrieves the file information of the user and check the information with its log information.
