Abstract

Contemporary cloud software stack is large and complex, where security vulnerabilities are routinely discovered. Hence, it is hard or even impossible to place trust on such a fragile platform to process some security-critical data. In this paper, we propose an architectural solution that extends processors with cryptographic support and policy enforcement engine to regulate the usage of security-critical data in an untrusted cloud platform. Specifically, we make a specific case of using such a platform for protecting the secrecy of lease-regulated data, which should only be accessed within a predefined amount of times or before a specific date. We further discuss how such protection is necessary in several security-critical usage scenarios.
