Abstract:

 Cloud storage services have become commercially popular due to their tremendous advantages. To provide everywhere always-onaccess, a cloud service provider maintains multiple replicas for each piece of data on geologically distributed servers. A key problem of using the replication technique in the clouds is that it is very posh to achieve strong consistency on a global scale. In this project, I first present a consistency as a service model, which consists of a large data cloud and multiple small audit clouds. In the consistency as an service model, a data cloud is maintained by a cloud service provider, and a group of users that constitute an audit cloud can verify whether the data cloud provides the promised level of consistency or not. We propose a two-level auditing architecture, in the audit cloud. Which are an auditor and the administrator for validation. The auditor will be validating the user data and check on the violations on the user side. The administrator will be monitoring the auditor and the user of the system. In this project, to implement the secure transfer and auditing, the data uploaded by the user will audit and then upload in the cloud storage. To meet the promise of everywhere 24/7 access, the cloud service provider store data replicas on multiple geographically distributed servers. A key problem of using the replication technique in the clouds is that it is very expensive to achieve strong consistency on a worldwide scale, where a user is ensured to see the largest updates. This project providing the highest level of security of information stored in the cloud using local level as well as global level auditing. Local level auditing is done by using the auditor and global level auditing done by using the admin of the system.

Keywords:

Cloud storage, consistency as a service (CaaS), two-level auditing.
