Query Result Integrity in Multiple Storage Servers in Distributed Environment

Abstract

The advancements in the internet and cloud technology have led to increasing use of data outsourcing and use of applications provided by different service providers. These services concentrate on their core functionality. Thus they make it possible for the users to use services without adding substantial overhead for hardware and software requirements. If the user wants to execute various queries which would execute on data stored at different servers, then this can be made possible by integration of data obtained from different servers. When the user executes queries on such systems then the main concern remains data security. Using the mechanisms described in the paper, users can be free from concerns of data protection and verification of data obtained from query responses. Providing different ways for checking whether query responses are secure and proper helps users to perform their operations without worrying of the trustworthiness of the servers in public cloud.
