Abstract
In this paper we define the problem and scope of data sovereignty– the coupling of stored data authenticity and geographical location in the cloud. Establishing sovereignty is an especially important concern amid legal and policy constraints when data and resources are virtualized and widely distributed. We identify the key challenges that need to be solved to achieve an effective and un-cheatable solution as well as propose an initial technique for data sovereignty.
