5.1. Introduction to data management

Basic goals for the secure management of data 1/1

Despite of all the benefits of outsourcing data management, it should be emphasized that in such a case clients do not have any direct control over the systems that manage their data. Thus the following questions arises:

  1. How can the client trust that a cloud provider will not leak any sensitive information or itself use his data in inappropriate way?
  2. How the client can be sure that his data is still available in the cloud?
  3. How the client can be sure that his data has not been changed by the cloud servers?
  4. How the client can be sure that his data was successfully deleted from the cloud?
  5. How the client can be sure that the protocol used for saving the storage space (de-duplication) is secure and does not leak any information about the data stored.

Note

Designing solutions for the security concerns should take into account that sometimes the client in the cloud architecture might be a small device (e.g. a cell-phone) with limited resources in the field of communication facilities, memory, CPU and battery power. Thus:

  • the volume of data exchanged between the user and the cloud and
  • the local computation and memory usage
should be minimized.
