Ensuring Distributed Accountability for Data Sharing in the Cloud

Agenda

• Users’ fears of losing the control of their own data,

while it is being processed by remote. To solve

this problem, a new highly decentralized

information accountability framework is proposed

to track usage of users’ data in cloud by providing

logging and auditing mechanisms.

Abstract

• The delivery of computing services over the Internet.

• Cloud services allow individuals and businesses to use software and hardware.

• E.g.: Online file storage, webmail and online business applications.

Cloud Computing

Service models

• SaaS: Software as a Service

• PaaS: Platform as a Service

• IaaS: Infrastructure as a Service.

• IPMaaS: Identity and Policy Management as a Service

• Conventional access control approaches

developed for closed domains using a centralized

server.

• Data handling can be outsourced by the direct

cloud service provider (CSP).

Existing System

• Cloud Information Accountability (CIA) framework

focuses on keeping the data usage transparent and

trackable.

• Logging mechanism

• Auditing mechanism

• Data owners can track the service-level

agreements are being honored.
