Abstract:

The paper presents architecture of a system that is capable of implementing: a keyless encryption method; self-destruction of data within a time frame without user’s intervention; and break-glass data recovery, and in-built failover protection. It mainly aims to overcome many of the current problems within Cloud-based infrastructures, such as in the loss of private keys, and inherent failover protection. The architecture emphasis a secret share method with: an Application Platform; Proxy Servers with Routers; and a Metadata Server. These interact within a multi-cloud environment to provide a robust and secure system, and which sounds a new direction in an improved cloud computing environment. The user gets an alert about the time frame. If the user fails to collect the data, then he/she can make a request to the owner for resending the data. It aims to ensure user privacy, and reduces the potential for data loss, and also reducing denial-of-service outages within the cloud, and with in-built failover protection for stored data.
