CloudSky: A Controllable Data Self-Destruction System for Untrusted Cloud Storage Networks

Abstract

Nowadays internet is the strongest way to connect the people. Internet encompasses banking, messaging, sharing data social networking etc. By developing cloud technology maximum applications are using cloud interface, and people usually trust all the services provided by cloud, users can store personal information on cloud. Later that information can be cached, copy, archived by the CSPs' (Cloud Service Provider). Self destructing data is considering as spy proof future of the internet, by using this data is like a time bomb on the network, it means that after certain time interval. Primarily self destruction of data was introduced on DHT (Distributed Hash Table), since low cost Sybil attack on DHT are the problems. Self destructing data is now on active storage framework (SeDas) because it giving higher security and performance. SeDas is having a proof concept that performance is improved by 60 to 72 percent but it deals with text data only, no multimedia data is considered for this system. Also uploading and downloading of the file having very poor performance especially with the large files. This paper is going to address these two problems so that privacy can be achieved in public network.
