Abstract :
We present a model for securing Map/Reduce computation in the cloud. The model uses a language based security approach to enforce information flow policies that vary dynamically due to a restricted revocable delegation of access rights between principals. The decentralized label model (DLM) is used to express these policies. We present a scenario that shows the flexibility and efficiency of our model in securing Map/Reduce computations running on the cloud infrastructure.
