        abstract = {Cloud storage can provide powerful and on- demand data storage services for users. By using the cloud service, users can outsource their data to the cloud without wasting substantial maintenance expenditure of hardware and software, which brings great benefits to users. However, once the users upload their data to the cloud, they will lose the physical control of their data since they no longer keep their data in local. Thus, the integrity of the cloud data is hard to be guaranteed, due to the inevitable hardware/software failures and human errors in the cloud. Using cloud storage services, users can store their data in the cloud to avoid the expenditure of local data storage and maintenance. To ensure the integrity of the data stored in the cloud, many data integrity auditing schemes have been proposed. In most, if not all, of the existing schemes, a user needs to employ his private key to generate the data authenticators for realizing the data integrity auditing. Thus, the user has to possess a hardware token (e.g. USB token, smart card) to store his private key and memorize a password to activate this private key. If this hardware token is lost or this password is forgotten, most of the current data integrity auditing schemes would be unable to work. In order to overcome this problem, we propose a new paradigm called data integrity auditing without private key storage and design such a scheme. In this scheme, we use biometric data (e.g. iris scan, fingerprint) as the user’s fuzzy private key to avoid using the hardware token. Meanwhile, the scheme can still effectively complete the data integrity auditing. We utilize a linear sketch with coding and error correction processes to confirm the identity of the user. In addition, we design a new signature scheme which not only supports block less verifiability, but also is compatible with the linear sketch. The security proof and the performance analysis show that our proposed scheme achieves desirable security and efficiency},
