MPNR Protocol MPNR protocol is new and advanced protocol that is used for secure data storage on the

cloud network. Figure 3.1 illustrates the framework under which our MPNR protocol is proposed. The owner uploads data to cloud and other users, such as Bob, Carl, etc. download data from cloud. If there is only one client, a TPNR procedure can be added between API and SSL, and data integrity is supported as part of NRR and NRO. The integrity NRO can be integrated into a ticket that is encrypted by Bobs public key and delivered to Bob through the cloud. Then Bob decrypts the ticket and checks the integrity when he downloads the data from cloud using TPNR. Furthermore, the data can be divided into blocks and encrypted with different keys, and each individual user can only get the permitted keys for their cipher text block. This MPNR protocol enables the storage cloud to defend against collusion attacks and roll-back attacks. In the paper below we will discuss these attacks before discussing the message exchange sessions among data owner, service provider, and users.
