A novel efficient data storage and data auditing in cloud environment using enhanced child drawing development...

The optimization on the cloud-based data structures is carried out using Adaptive Level and Skill Rate-based Child Drawing Development Optimization algorithm (ALSR-CDDO). Also, the overall cost required in computing and communicating is reduced by optimally selecting these data structures by the ALSR-CDDO algorithm. The storage of the data in the cloud platform is performed using the Divide and Conquer Table (D&CT). The location table and the information table are generated using the D&CT method. The details, such as the file information, file ID, version number, and user ID, are all present in the information table. Every time data is deleted or updated, and its version number is modified. Whenever an update takes place using D&CT, the location table also gets upgraded. The information regarding the location of a file in the Cloud Service Provider (CSP) is given in the location table. Once the data is stored in the CSP, the auditing of the data is then performed on the stored data. Both dynamic and batch auditing are carried out on the stored data, even if it gets updated dynamically in the CSP. The security offered by the executed scheme is verified by contrasting it with other existing auditing schemes.
