Cloud computing is one of the today's most exciting technologies due to its abilities like ensuring scalable services, reducing the burden of local hardware and software management associated with computing while increasing flexibility and scalability. A major feature of the cloud services is that user's data are usually processed remotely in unknown machines. Though there are many conveniences brought by this new technology, there are some issues such as cloud computing servers can be easily compromised, data is no longer under the control of the data owner and cloud computing is not responsible for the access control of outsourced data desired by the data owner. To address these problems, we propose a new framework known as Secure Flexible Framework (SFF). This proposed framework allows data owner to achieve cloud data integrity, actual data usage tracking and fine grained access control of outsourced data. Through this paper, we strengthen the correctness and user's control of their own data in the cloud along with scalable, flexible and fine grained access control of outsourced data.
