Title
A Hybrid Approach For Private Data Protection In The Cloud
Abstract
With the emergence of the cloud computing paradigm, the personal data usage has raised several privacy concerns like the lack of user control, the non-compliance with the user's preferences and/or regulations, the difficulty of the data flow tracking, etc. In particular, one unsolved problem is to ensure that customers data usage policies are enforced, regardless of who accesses the data, how they are processed, where are the data stored, transferred and duplicated. This issue calls for two requirements to be satisfied. First, data should be handled in accordance with both owners' preferences and regulations policies whenever it exists in the cloud and throughout its lifetime. Second, a consistent data flow tracking should be maintained to follow up the data derivation. Toward addressing these issues, we propose in this paper a hybrid approach to protect private data in the cloud. We propose the PriArmor data content for self-defending data when stored or transferred in the cloud and the PriArmor agent that acts as an armor for its privacy protection when processed by the cloud-based services. To facilitate the policy specification, we propose a novel privacy ontology model that drives the data owner to express his privacy requirements and to consider the regulations policies. Finally, we present the implementation details as well as a demonstration that shows flexibility and efficiency of our approach.
