Secure IP Geolocation - Cloud Data

Cloud Data Transparency

Overview

Cloud computing is clearly one of today鈥檚 most enticing technologies due to 听its scalable, flexible, and cost-efficient access to computing resources. However, the increased 听concentration of business data and computing power scales security risks as well. One of the 听recent security concerns is attributed to the lack of sufficient transparency in the operations of 听the cloud provider, leading to difficulties in cloud auditing. Data owners wish to know the exact location of their data to ensure that their data is not being abused or leaked. 听To provide accurate and secure location of cloud user data, we are investigate a critical network mapping and measurement (NMM) technique, Secure IP Geolocation. 听We are developing a methodology based on machine learning that will determine the geolocations of the cloud nodes containing user data with higher reliability, robustness, and sensitivity than the current state-of-the art measurement-based IP geolocation techniques. 听
