1. The document discusses auditing and resisting key exposure in cloud storage. It proposes a new framework called an auditing protocol with key-exposure resilience that allows integrity of stored data to still be verified even if the client's current secret key is exposed.
2. It formalizes the definition and security model for such a protocol and proposes an efficient practical construction. The security proof and asymptotic performance analysis show the proposed protocol is secure and efficient.
3. Key techniques used include periodic key updates, homomorphic linear authenticators, and a novel authenticator construction to boost forward security and provide proof of retrievability with the current design.
