Abstract

In the last few years, cloud computing has evolved from being a promising business concept to one of the fastest growing segments of the IT industry. However, one impediment to widespread adoption by enterprise customers is mistrust in the cloud service provider to control access to private customer data. To address security and privacy challenges, we propose H-one, a new auditing mechanism for cloud. H-one uses information flow tracking techniques to implement complete, efficient and privacy-preserving logs that will enable the auditing of the administrators of the cloud infrastructure, thus increasing the customer's trust in cloud services.
