Data Protection for Cross-Border Live Migration in Multi-cloud Environment

Abstract

This paper presents a data protection mechanism for a live migration process. The proposed data protection mechanism verifies whether it is permissible for the data of an application of a movement source to be duplicated to a movement destination based on the contents of regulations related to data use issued by organizations and countries at the start of a live migration process. The mechanism executes live migration only when duplication is permitted. This mechanism makes appropriate data use possible while protecting privacy during a live migration process.
