Data Integrity Issues in Cloud Servers
In the past few years cloud has become the buzzword in computing. But this wide acceptance and ease of use exposed the new IT based technology into a number of data integrity (correctness of data) and security issues. Integrity of user data in the cloud servers is one of the most important concerns of users nowadays. In this paper we will analyze different methodologies and protocols, which the customer/users can use to check the correctness of their data with the simplest possible way and less overhead at the customer side and to overcome the challenges faced by cloud servers for the security and integrity of users data.
Keywords: Cloud Computing, Data Integrity, Data Availability, Security, Cloud Servers, Users, Encryption.
