AMENABILITY OF DISTRIBUTED DATA IN THE CLOUD BY MEANS OF CIA FRAMEWORK?

Cloud Computing is a general term used to describe a new class of ―network based computing‖ that takes place over the internet which facilitates highly scalable and ?anytime-anywhere access‘ services via web browser. The most important characteristic of cloud services is that any data may be processed remotely in various machines that users do not own or operate. Data handling can be outsourced by the direct cloud service provider (CSP) to other entities in the cloud and these entities can also delegate the tasks to others and so on. Therefore data handling in the cloud goes through a complex and dynamic hierarchical service chain. So users‘ fears of losing control of their own data. This results in obstacle for the implementation of cloud services. To specify the existing criteria a ―Highly Decentralized Cloud Information Accountability‖ framework is being proposed to keep track of usage of the user‘s data in the cloud with an attractive feature of Object Centered Approach that enables logging mechanisms to be enclosed with the Users‘ data and policies along with the distributed auditing mechanisms.
