With the advent of cloud storage services many users tend to store their data in the cloud to save storage cost. However, this has lead to many security concerns, and one of the most important ones is ensuring data integrity. Public verification schemes are able to employ a third party auditor to perform data auditing on behalf of the user. But most public verification schemes are vulnerable to procrastinating auditors who may not perform auditing on time. These schemes do not have fair arbitration also, i.e. they lack a way to punish the malicious Cloud Service Provider (CSP) and compensate user whose data has been corrupted. On the other hand, CSP might be storing redundant data that could increase the storage cost for the CSP and computational cost of data auditing for the user. In this paper, we propose a Blockchain-based public auditing and deduplication scheme with a fair arbitration system against procrastinating auditors. The key idea requires auditors to record each verification using smart contract and store the result into a Blockchain as a transaction. Our scheme can detect and punish the procrastinating auditors and compensate users in the case of any data loss. Additionally, our scheme can detect and delete duplicate data that improve storage utilization and reduce the computational cost of data verification. Experimental evaluation demonstrates that our scheme is provably secure and does not incur overhead compared to the existing public auditing techniques while offering an additional feature of verifying the auditor's performance.
