Techniques for distributing verification checks incident to data deletion

Abstract

Techniques described and suggested herein include distributed deletion request processing and verification. For example, incident to migration of original data from a first data store to a second data store, verifications and confirmations related to removing the original data from the first data store may be performed so as to ensure the integrity of the original data represented on the second data store prior to removing the actual original data on the first data store. In some embodiments, the verifications and confirmations performed in connection with a deletion request may be apportioned to multiple entities, each of which may not fully trust the others. As a result, in some embodiments, a given deletion request may only be fulfilled if all of the entities involved in the verification process individually provide authorization to execute the deletion request.
