Recent advances in edge computing have pushed cloud-based data caching services to edge by motivating App vendors to cache multiple data replicas on geographically distributed edge servers.

However, such emerging edge storage comes with a challenging and unique edge data integrity verification problem which coordinates multiple participants (e.g., edge servers and App vendors) to inspect whether data cached on edge is authentic. By leveraging cutting-edge distributed ledger technologies, machine learning algorithms, and cryptographic techniques, this project aims to devise robust and efficient mechanisms for detecting tampering, data corruption, and unauthorized modifications.
