【 摘 要 】

Fog-to-cloud computing has now become a new cutting-edge technique along with the rapid popularity of Internet of Things (IoT). Unlike traditional cloud computing, fog-to-cloud computing needs more entities to participate in, including mobile sinks and fog nodes except for cloud service provider (CSP). Hence, the integrity auditing in fog-to-cloud storage will also be different from that of traditional cloud storage. In the recent work of Tian et al., they took the first step to design public auditing system for fog-to-cloud computing. However, their scheme becomes very inefficient since they uses intricate public key cryptographic techniques, including bilinear mapping, proof of knowledge etc. In this paper, we design a general and more efficient auditing system based on MAC and HMAC, both of which are popular private key cryptographic techniques. By implementing MAC and HMAC, we give a concrete instantiation of our auditing system. Finally, the theoretical analysis and experiment results show that our proposed system has more efficiency in terms of communication and computational costs.
