Secure Data Storage and Transaction Logs for Cloud Computing Applications: A Literature Survey

Abstract

Securing data storage and transaction logs in cloud computing should face certain key risks associated with remote data

storage treats. One of the main risk is the dependency and full trust to be given to cloud operator, which opens avenue for external

attacks. To make it worse, Cloud operators are distributing packages of data across multiple locations following their storage policy, and this

event brings in more complexity. Several researchers has had this matter researched and there is still room for adaptation and improvement

as discussed in this paper.
