Recently, the most announced word in the world of computation is 'Cloud Computing'. In cloud computing, the services are provided by some vendors and the customers are unaware about the storage and maintenance of their data. So, logically speaking, the client has no control over the cloud. When the service providers process the data being provided by the customers, issues like privacy loss and data leakage may arise. This is an important barrier for the adoption of cloud services. A user-centric approach is essential to overcome this barrier. In this paper we present a solution which provides the control, over the data being submitted in the cloud, to the user. © Springer-Verlag 2011.
