RAND Europe Meeting – The Cloud: understanding the Security, Privacy and Trust Aspects

I am going to attend and present at a RAND Europe meeting on the topic of “The Cloud: understanding the Security, Privacy and Trust Aspects”, as a part of a EU project commissioned to RAND, time.lex and IDL Warwick:

“This study has undertaken a review of the literature and a number of real-life case studies to identify how challenges in respect of the privacy, security and trust issues were overcome in various implementations of cloud computing.”

In particular I am going to give a related presentation, from an industrial and research angle, followed by a panel debate.

If you have any point or aspect you’d like me to cover, please let me know.

Currently my presentation is structured as it follows:

- provide an overview of cloud computing, its main aspects and implications
- highlight current security, trust and privacy issues in cloud computing
- discuss trade-offs and different approaches to cloud computing depending on the type of business, e.g. SMEs, medium-large organisations, goverments
- talk about some standardisation/public initiatives in the security space (Jericho, Cloud Security Alliance, etc.)
- Provide an overview of current approaches and solutions to security, trust and privacy and their limitations
- talk about collaborative (industry driven) R&D activities in cloud computing where HP Labs are currently involved, including UK TSB projects (EnCoRe, Cloud Stewardship Economics, etc.)
