Abstract

Use of cloud infrastructure by enterprises for hosting their data and applications is growing at a rapid pace. This calls for proper security measures for protecting sensitive enterprise data within the Cloud. Absence of owners’ control over data stored in Cloud introduces major security concerns that should be handled by the Cloud Service Provider. One of the most critical aspects is secure handling of data deletion; it should be ensured that sensitive data is completely deleted from the Cloud on an owner’s request to avoid data leakages. This paper presents a methodology for effective and efficient allocation of Virtual Machines to users, while ensuring security of sensitive data that belongs to users within the same Conflict of Interest classes. The issue of secured data deletion has been addressed by the proposed methodology which, being a provider-end solution, does not incur any additional user overhead.
