This document proposes a new Cloud Information Accountability (CIA) framework to ensure distributed accountability for data sharing in the cloud. The CIA framework focuses on keeping data usage transparent and trackable through logging and auditing mechanisms. This will allow data owners to verify that service-level agreements regarding their data are being followed. The framework uses a decentralized approach with distinct logging and auditing techniques to provide transparency and accountability for how users' data is handled and processed when stored in the cloud.

Abstract Cloud Computing Existing System Proposed System System Design Modules System Requirement Specification References Agenda Users fears of losing the control of their own data, while it is being processed by remote. To solve this problem, a new highly decentralized information accountability framework is proposed to track usage of users data in cloud by providing logging and auditing mechanisms.
Abstract The delivery of computing services over the Internet.
Cloud services allow individuals and businesses to use software and hardware.
E.g.: Online file storage, webmail and online business applications.
Cloud Computing Service models
SaaS: Software as a Service
PaaS: Platform as a Service
IaaS: Infrastructure as a Service.
IPMaaS: Identity and Policy Management as a Service
Conventional access control approaches developed for closed domains using a centralized server. Data handling can be outsourced by the direct cloud service provider (CSP).
Existing System
Cloud Information Accountability (CIA) framework focuses on keeping the data usage transparent and trackable. Logging mechanism Auditing mechanism Data owners can track the service-level agreements are being honored.
