Abstract

Cloud data integrity verification is an important means to keep data security. Many integrity verification schemes were proposed for cloud storage. In 2019, Zhang et al. proposed a conditional identity privacy-preserving public auditing (CIPPPA) mechanism. We found that the signature algorithm is insecure because the Cloud Service Provider (CSP) can modify the user's outsourced data, while it can generate a correct proof.
