A survey on trusted platform module for data remanence in cloud

Abstract

Cloud computing is the process of storing data in a common place rather than positioning the data in a computer or server. Though cloud computing offers various security features, various security issues has been in place. This paper aims to address one of the unidentified issue or inconsiderable issue in the cloud. One such issue is data remanence. All knows that dragging a file into the recycle bin and then emptying it, does not completely delete the file. Instead, the file remains in the drive, which paves the way for an attacker to get access to that file and make use of it. This paper deals with a survey of trusted platform technologies used for overcoming the data remanence problem in cloud.
