【Abstract】With the increasing publicity of information, more and more users are willing to share their data with others. Therefore, in cloud storage services, the security of shared data has begun to attract attention. Most of the current integrity auditing schemes cannot balance data sharing and audit security well. In view of this, we propose an audit scheme based on blockchain and file prediction in the shared environment. On the one hand, a lightweight signature algorithm is designed to realize the revocation of group members without source data transmission, which greatly avoids the communication overhead between the user and the cloud. On the other hand, we introduce blockchain technology into auditing and use smart contracts to verify the integrity of cloud data, making the system more secure, tamper-resistant, and traceable. Finally, in order to ensure that a file is audited only when necessary, we propose the concept of valid auditing and predict the frequently accessed or likely accessed files in the sharing group, which greatly improves the valid auditing rate and saves system computing resources. The security analysis proves that our method is safe and reliable. The performance evaluation and experimental comparison prove that our scheme has high efficiency.
