In cloud computing, data owners upload data on cloud servers and users can access or download the data from the cloud servers. This technique of data hosting service creates new security problems which need to be checked for data integrity. Some of the existing solutions are inefficient to audit the integrity of the data. An efficient authentication protocol must have a desirable feature of denying the data access request which are not made by authenticated user and must collect the data required for analysis for validation results. In this paper, we propose an authentication and auditing protocol which provides an efficient way of mutual authentication data access and supports dynamic data operations. Better load management reduces the computational complexity of the user. In addition to this, we provide an error acknowledgement response scheme which handles the error efficiently along with reduction in computational overhead.
