A Novel Information Accountability Framework for Cloud Computing
Journal Title: International Journal of Modern Engineering Research (IJMER) - Year 2013, Vol 3, Issue 5
Abstract
Cloud computing is an emerging paradigm in the computer industry where the computing is moved to a cloud of computer systems. The cloud computing core concept is, simply, that the vast computing resources that we need will reside somewhere out there in the cloud of computer systems and we will connect to them and use them as and when needed. The difficulty of how to provide proper security as well as privacy protection for cloud computing is very important, and as yet not solved. In this paper we propose a novel approach, namely Cloud Information Accountability (CIA) framework, based on the notion of information accountability. Unlike privacy protection technologies which are built on the hide-it-or-lose-it perspective, the information accountability focuses on keeping the data usage transparent and trackable. The design of the CIA framework presents substantial challenges, including uniquely identifying CSPs, adapting to a highly decentralized infrastructure, ensuring the reliability of the log, etc. Our basic approach toward addressing these issues is to leverage and extend the programmable capability of the JAR (Java ARchives) files to automatically log the usage of the users’ data by any entity in the cloud. Users will send their data along with any policies such as access control policies and logging policies that they want to enforce, that is enclosed in JAR files, to cloud service providers.
