Abstract
2018 is the 13th anniversary since Radia Perlman has introduced the concept of self-destructing data in 2005. After all the big events committed data leakage, such as the PRISM and Instagram fappening, big data still maintain its leading position among the internet buzzwords. This paper strives to review and summarize the research process of self-destructing data in the past decade. Comparisons between landmark methods and systems have also been made in purpose of inspiring graduate students and researchers to contribute to study in this field.
