- 2. Cloud Computing Definition(s) 06/01/11 Cloud computing is a model for enabling convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction . This cloud model promotes availability and is composed of five essential characteristics, three service models , and four deployment models . NIST Definition Built on compute and storage virtualization , provides scalable , network-centric, abstracted IT infrastructure , platforms , and applications as on-demand services that are billed by consumption . Gartner’s definition : "a style of computing where scalable and elastic IT-related capabilities are provided 'as a service' to external customers using Internet technologies."

- 16. Research recommendations Metrics for security in cloud computing Return on security investments Effects of different forms reporting breaches on security Techniques for increasing transparency /level of security Location tagging, data type tagging, policy tagging Privacy (data provenance) tracing data end to end End to end data confidentiality in the cloud and beyond: Encrypted search (long term) Encrypted processing schemes (long term) Encryption and confidentiality tools for social applications in the cloud Trusted computing in clouds, trusted boot sequence for virtual machine stack Standardization etc. 06/01/11
- 17. Legal recommendations Legal issues to be resolved during the evaluation of the contracts (ULA User Licensing Agreement, SLA Service Level Agreement) Data protection Data security Data Transfer Law enforcement access Confidentiality and non disclosure Intellectual property Risk allocation and limitation of liability Change of control 06/01/11
- 18. Conclusion Technology solutions ; privacy by design Compliance with transparency provisions vis-à-vis individuals Ensure that customers know about the location of their data Ensure that they properly understand the risks so that they make informed choices Current review process of the existing Data Protection Directive 06/01/11
