As an important type of cloud data, digital provenance is arousing increasing attention on improving system performance. Currently, provenance has been employed to provide cues regarding access control and to estimate data quality. However, provenance itself might also be sensitive information. Therefore, provenance might be encrypted and stored in the Cloud. In this paper, we provide a mechanism to classify cloud documents by searching specific keywords from their encrypted provenance, and we prove our scheme achieves semantic security. In term of application of the proposed techniques, considering that files are classified to store separately in the cloud, in order to facilitate the regulation and security protection for the files, the classification policies can use provenance as conditions to determine the category of a document. Such as the easiest sample policy goes like: the documents have been reviewed twice can be classified as “public accessible”, which can be accessed by the public.

Cloud storage is an exclusive resource in cloud computing, which helps to store and share the data on cloud storage server. Clients upload the data and its hash information n server together on cloud storage. The file owner always concern about data security like privacy and unauthorized access to third party. The owner also wants to ensure the integrity data during communication process. To ensure integrity, we propose a framework based on third party auditor which checks the integrity and correctness of data during audit process. Our aim is to design custom hash for the file which is not only justifies the integrity but also version information about file.
