Abstract:

Provenance information are meta-data that summarize the history of the creation and the actions performed on an artefact e.g. data, process etc. Secure provenance is essential to improve data forensics, ensure accountability and increase the trust in the cloud. In this paper, we survey the existing cloud provenance management schemes and proposed security solutions. We investigate the current related security challenges resulting from the nature of the provenance model and the characteristics of the cloud and we finally identify potential research directions which we feel necessary t should be covered in order to build a secure cloud provenance for the next generation.
