With the rapid development of mobile cloud storage systems in recent years [1], mobile users or institutions are more willing to outsource the data to external cloud servers for better scalability and usability [2]. Cloud storage users can access data with no limits of time and space using different terminals, like computers and smartphones since cloud storage provides the most suitable solution for sharing data between these devices [3,4]. In cloud storage mode, the user’s data are completely managed and stored by the Cloud Service Provider (CSP) which can obtain and search sensitive data stored by the user in the cloud [5]. However, the CSP may lose the user’s data due to unexpected system failures. On top of that, some potential attackers may obtain data illegally by attacking the CSP server which eventually leads to information leakage. The hidden security troubles caused by the separation of data ownership and management rights make cloud storage security a problem that cannot be ignored.

Due to the fact that many multimedia applications rely on a tremendous amount of data, the demands of mobile network users on powerful storage services are rapidly increasing. According to the report of ARCchart [64], with the radically increasing camera resolution of mobile devices and the even faster growing size of data generated by such hardware advances, demands on mobile cloud storage are undergoing an exponential growth. To meet this user requirement, mobile cloud storage has risen and taken the place of the most widely used cloud mobile media (CMM) service, which is mainly provided by Google, Apple, Dropbox and Amazon today [1]. This service enables mobile network users to store video, music and other files in the cloud, to access files through any devices regardless of the source of the data, and to synchronize data in multiple devices. In order to employ a mobile cloud storage service on a large scale, it is imperative to ensure high integrity and availability of data, as well as user privacy and content security. It is clear that large scale deployment of a mobile cloud storage service will cause a significant increase in mobile data traffic, which in turn puts a demand on the integration of the storage functionality with ubiquitous and high‐data‐rate wireless networking functionality.

Smartphones, tablets, or other mobile smart devices are inseparable tools in people’s daily life (Vandenbroucke et al. 2014; Arpaci 2016). Limited storage capacities of smartphones have caused their users to utilise mobile applications for cloud storage. In fact, mobile cloud storage applications have enabled users to store more data on their smart devices (Vartiainen and Väänänen 2010).
