IGOD -- Identifying Geolocation of Cloud Datacenter Hosting Mobile User's Data
Chetan Jaiswal, Vijay Kumar · 2015
We introduce a novel algorithm called IGOD to identify the geolocation of the cloud data center which is hosting the data of a mobile user. IGOD efficiently geo locate any target data center as accurately as possible and is highly cost-effective. It provides audit control and assurance against the cloud storage providers who may relocate mobile customer's data. We use Planet Lab for our data collection. We compared our approach to the earlier approaches that used Ping delay to predict the geolocation of a target. We claim that IGOD is highly cost-effective.
