    obtaining, by the computing, the sentinel data from one or more predefined sentinel locations in the encrypted data after decrypting through a user personalized key that is stored by the computing device;

    requesting, by the computing device, the original data that comprises the subset of the cloud data from the cloud storage through the terminal;

    comparing, by the computing device, the sentinel data and the original data to verify integrity of the original data in the cloud storage; and

    displaying, by the computing device, a result of data integrity based on the comparing.
