A novel provable data possession scheme based on geographic location attribute

Increment of mobile cloud video motivates mobile users to utilize cloud storage service to address their demands, cloud storage provider always furnish a location-independent platform for managing user's data. However, mobile users wonder if their cloud video data leakage or dynamic migration to illegal service providers. In this paper, we design a novel provable data possession protocol based on data geographic location attribute, which allows data owner to auditing the integrity of their video data, which put forward an ideal choice for remote data possession checking in the mobile cloud storage. In our proposed scheme, we check out whether the video data dynamic migrate to an unspecified location (such as: overseas) by adding data geographic location attribute tag into provable data possession protocol. Moreover, we make sure the security of our proposed scheme under the Computational Diffie-Hellman assumption. The analysis and experiment results demonstrate that our proposed scheme is provably secure and efficient.
