Abstract

Abstract : As a special scenario of mobile cloud computing, mobile edge computing can meet the requirements of low latency of data integrity verification and support of mobility in mobile scenarios. However, most existing data integrity verification methods have relatively large computational overhead and few considerations of data dynamic update. To address the above problems, we propose a lightweight data integrity verification method that can support data dynamics in mobile edge computing scenarios. The proposed method is based on an algebraic signature and data integrity verification framework, which ensures security and reduces the computational overhead to achieve the requirement of lightweight. On this basis, analysis and proof of the feasibility, security, and privacy are given. At the same time, in order to support the dynamic update of the data, an optimized strategy based on matrix index is designed with low overhead. In comparison with other baseline methods, simulation experiments show that our method is superior in terms of computational overhead and has good performance in supporting data dynamics.
