SECURE DATA SHARING ON CLOUD USING TRANSPARENCY SERVICE MODEL

Cloud technology enables data-sharing capabilities, which benefits the user through greater productivity and efficiency. However, the Cloud is susceptible to many privacy and security vulnerabilities. Thus, there is a strong demand for data owners to not only ensure that their data kept private and secure in the Cloud, but also have control over their own data. If meta-data is compromised, then unapproved access to the client data is possible. For the protection of client data, we present a Transparency Service Model in this research project. TSM provides a mechanism where cloud provider configures the service on the cloud by giving the service information about the cloud storage devices that would contain the data. It is then responsibility of the TSM to store data on those devices and cloud provider no longer has direct access to data storage on those devices.
