The cloud storage service has brought great convenience to the customer, which can save massive storage and computation resources via outsourcing the data to cloud service provider (CSP). However, the security issues are the biggest challenge such as data integrity. The user can verify the integrity of outsourced data through a remote data auditing solution without retrieving original data from cloud, however, the auditing procedure has heavy computational overhead, which employs third party auditor (TPA) to conduct auditing task on behalf of users. In this paper, we propose a decentralized public auditing scheme for cloud storage based on blockchain, which removes TPA and increases the number of CSP, the auditing task was assigned to multiple CSPs, and the blockchain technology was used to record the audit process. Meanwhile, the structure of e-voting system is utilized to realize the audit result statistics of multiple CSPs via smart contract, which enhanced the credibility and stability of final auditing result. The theoretical analysis and experimental results demonstrate that proposed scheme is secure and efficient.
