Securing Data Provenance in the Cloud
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cloud storage offers the flexibility of accessing data from anywhere at any time while providing economical benefits and scalability. However, cloud stores lack the ability to manage data provenance. Data provenance describes how a particular piece of data has been produced. It is vital for a post-incident investigation, widely used in healthcare, scientific collaboration, forensic analysis and legal proceedings. Data provenance needs to be secured since it may reveal private information about the sensitive data while the cloud service provider does not guarantee confidentiality of the data stored in dispersed geographical locations. This paper proposes a scheme to secure data provenance in the cloud while offering the encrypted search.

Poster: Secure Provenance for Cloud Storage
Organizations are increasingly turning to the cloud for data processing and storage. Storing data in the cloud is advantageous for numerous reasons: the elasticity of cloud environments ensures that only storage used is paid for, while tasks such as backup, replication, and geographic diversification of data are effectively outsourced to cloud storage providers. However, unfettered access to th...
متن کاملProvenance for the Cloud
The cloud is poised to become the next computing environment for both data storage and computation due to its pay-as-you-go and provision-as-you-go models. Cloud storage is already being used to back up desktop user data, host shared scientific data, store web application data, and to serve web pages. Today’s cloud stores, however, are missing an important ingredient: provenance. Provenance is ...
متن کاملMaking a Cloud Provenance-Aware
The advent of cloud computing provides a cheap and convenient mechanism for scientists to share data. The utility of such data is obviously enhanced when the provenance of the data is also available. The cloud, while convenient for storing data, is not designed for storing and querying provenance. In this paper, we present desirable properties for distributed provenance storage systems and pres...
متن کاملChallenges for Provenance in Cloud Computing
Many applications which require provenance are now moving to cloud infrastructures. However, it is not widely realised that clouds have their own need for provenance due to their dynamic nature and the burden this places on their administrators. We analyse the structure of cloud computing to identify the unique challenges facing provenance collection and the scenarios in which additional proven...
متن کاملDigital provenance: Enabling secure data forensics in cloud computing
Secure provenance that records the ownership and process history of data objects is vital to the success of data forensics in cloud computing. In this paper, we propose a new secure provenance scheme based on group signature and attribute-based signature techniques. The proposed provenance scheme provides confidentiality on sensitive documents stored in a cloud, unforgeability of the provenance...
