Abstract— Cloud computing ensures
highly scalable services to be easily available on the Internet. Users’ data
are usually processed remotely in unknown machines that users do not own in
cloud. While enjoying the convenience of this new emerging technology, users’
are worried about losing control of their own data mainly in financial and
health sectors. This is becoming a significant problem to the wide use of cloud
services. To solve this problem, a novel highly decentralized information
accountability framework that keeps track of the actual usage of the users’
data is proposed in the cloud. It contains an object-centered approach that
enables enclosing our logging mechanism together with users’ data and policies.
For this we leverage the JAR programmable capabilities to both create a dynamic
and traveling object, and to ensure that any access to users’ data will trigger
authentication and automated logging local to the JARs. In addition it also
provides distributed auditing mechanisms and sends notification of data access
via SMS (Short Message service) to data owners’ mobile.
