Summary To ensure the intactness of the stored data in cloud, numerous data public auditing mechanisms have been presented. However, most of these existing solutions suffer from several flaws: (a) identity privacy and data privacy of data owner are inevitably revealed to the auditor in the auditing process; (b) the existing public auditing mechanisms with resisting key exposure are only proved in the random oracle model. To address the problems above, in this paper, we propose an achieving identity‐and‐data privacy public auditing protocol with forward security in the standard model by incorporating knowledge proof signature, ring signature, and forward security technique. And then, we formalize the security model of forward security and anonymity of identity, in which the adversary is allowed to query private keys of some ring members. It can provide stronger security. Thus, our proposed scheme can not only achieve data owner's identity privacy and data privacy but also provide forward security for data owner's secret key. To the best of our knowledge, it is the first preserving privacy of identity‐and‐data public auditing scheme with forward security that is provably secure in the standard model. The security of the scheme is related to the computational Diffie–Hellman (CDH) problem and the subgroup decision problem. Finally, our scheme is simulatively tested; experimental results demonstrate that our mechanism is very efficient in terms of overall performance.
