Remotely Controllable Data Self-Destruction for Privacy-Preserving Sensitive Data Services

This paper address a comprehensive solution to address data privacy and security challenges in data science, providing secure self-destruction of sensitive data, confidentiality through encryption, and flexible control over message destruction. Based on outsourcing cloud data services, we introduce a cloud retrograde storage (CRS) system for privacy-preserving self-destruction of sensitive data. The CRS is based on a frequently colliding hash table and recycle pool, and supports remote time, count, and range control. Hereby, we provide a remotely controllable mechanism for the prompt destruction of inactive messages against digital forensics without reducing the availability of services. The method used in the CRS involves storing messages in a recycle pool, where they are automatically erased at the end of their validity period or after being viewed by all recipients. The system also incorporates encryption and decryption processes to ensure confidentiality. The result of performance evaluation shows that the CRS effectively handles the destruction of messages and provides secure data removal from storage pools. The experiments demonstrate the efficiency and practicality of the CRS for large-scale data services.
