Abstract

Cloud computing has been in increasing concentration these years. Nevertheless, recently, it suffers the ambiguity in discerning responsibilities for unexpected incapable services. At this time, people refer to the logs. However, since logs may judge the fault, they are susceptible to malicious modification. Thus, their integrity is vital. Existing solutions leverage blockchain technology to tackle this problem, but few of them take the pseudo-anonymous nature of blockchain into considerations. This risks users’ privacy when they anchor their logs onto the blockchain. Some solutions try to be anonymous, but they are not general enough to be practical. In this paper, we propose a blockchain-based anonymous logging system for cloud environment. Our system introduces zero-knowledge proof to realize anonymous authentication, which can ensure undeniability in auditing while doing no harm to anonymity. Through experimental evaluation, we evaluate the feasibility and anonymity of the proposed system.
