Cloud technology has gained fabulous popularity in recent years. By outsourcing the confidential resources to the public providers and paying for the provision used, the users can bliss upon the advantages of this new paradigm. However, the archive which backups the user’s sensitive data may not be fully trustworthy and introduces new challenges from the perspectives of data correctness and security. The users may also concern much about data intactness. Bountiful attempts have been espoused and many technological implementations have been established to remove insecurities. This paper aims to enhance the importance of the data integrity scheme and proposes a remote data possession checking based on the Luhn’s approach. The main idea is to design the tags computed from cipher blocks can be used to check the integrity of the resources in deposited in the archive. The security and performance analysis illustrates the computational, storage and communication efficiency of this scheme. Finally, it performs unbounded data possession checking which provides confidentiality of archived sensitive data
