A Novel Infrastructure for Data Sanitization in Cloud Computing (Research Paper)

Purpose - In this extended abstract, we propose a novel infrastructure in cloud computing environment which assures the data sanitization after the customers decide to delete them. Design - A mechanism with monitoring agents is suggested to watch the data usage over entire life cycle and assure the data sanitization in the end. Findings - Security analysis and performance analysis will be done after the complete infrastructure is decided. We expect this mechanism should fulfill the security and performance requirements for cloud computing users. Originality/Value - The emerging cloud computing technology needs the assurance of various security requirements, otherwise most of customers/organizations do not dare to adopt it. Our research proposes an infrastructure to solve one of the security problems, i.e. data sanitization. As well known, only after the security requirements of cloud computing could be managed and guaranteed, the prospects of the cloud services are brightening.
