Abstract

Cloud computing infrastructure is a new skill for sharing information Technology and databased services over the information superhighway. Society, industry, and science are being developed with essential new skills for information sharing. The major aspect for crosscutting questions is recording and managing provenance, or information about the derivation, context, origin, or history of data. We postulate that data provenance will perform a vital role in developing advanced digital setups. Several types of research have been conducted by focusing on managing, recording mechanisms, or by means of provenance information. In this paper, we present the implementation of an automatic collection and storage of data provenance, by developing a provenance collection and storage model. We also designed a uniform interface with a provenance triggering protocol for sending provenance to more than one cloud at the same time. To satisfy the basic models that define data provenance and relate it to security goals such as confidentiality, integrity, and availability (CIA), we deployed security implementation on data provenance using Shamir’s secret sharing principle.
