This document summarizes a research paper that proposes a method for managing sensitive user data in cloud computing through measurable and secure data access controls. It discusses privacy issues with current data storage practices in cloud computing. The proposed method uses attribute-based encryption to assign users fine-grained access permissions to limited amounts of data for a specific time period. This aims to address issues with data leakage, privacy, and lack of data owner control in existing cloud data systems. The method was implemented in a simulation using .NET technologies to test access permissions between cloud service providers, consumers, and users.
