Abstract: Cloud computing is the arising technology to minimize the user burden in the updation of data in business using internet. Instead of local data storage and maintenance, the user is assisted with the cloud storage so that the user can remotely store their data and enjoy the on-demand high quality application from a shared pool of resources. The data stored must be protected in the cloud storage. To enhance the correctness of data, auditing process is done which is carried out by TPA(Third Party Auditor). The TPA must be efficient to audit without demanding the local copy of data. In this paper we have proposed a method that uses the keyed Hash Message Authentication Code (HMAC) with the Homomorphic tokens to enhance the security of TPA.
Keywords: Cloud Storage, Integrity, Third Party Auditor.

Scope of the Article: Cloud computing
