Abstract
In this paper, we propose to add blockchains as a mechanism to store cloud attestations. Blockchains are: 1) cryptographically auditable, 2) append only, 3) accessible to all, 4) tamper resistant. Blockchains also require no central trust mechanism (hence, no central point of failure). Smart contracts are a recent advance of blockchain technology that allow for more expressive development and control. Our smart contract gives the consumer the ability to query the blockchain for the location of their data and history of its movement between clouds.
