A Mutual Agreement Signature Scheme for Secure Data ProvenanceMutual Agreement • May 9th, 2014
Provenance refers to the origin or earliest known history information of an object. It is an important concept in many fields including art, science and computing where it is used to trace an object to its origin. It is used in workflow management systems and processes in physics, astronomy, biology, chemical sciences, earth sciences for maintaining context information, auditing and data replication [1]. It finds applications for intelligent re-use of experiments, fault detection, protection against illegitimate intellectual property claims, and assessments of data quality [2]. Depending on the application domain, different properties of the object can be tracked such as owner information, purpose of its creation, processes undergone, state of the object or material at each stage, etc. Since provenance maintains information about the present and past of an object, it is suitable to assess its trustworthiness [3].
