Securing Elasticity in the Cloud.

The article presents a discussion of cloud computing, focusing on the great potential which elasticity of scale provides, and the unprecedented security challenges which are also necessarily involved. The author notes that he had previously been somewhat skeptical of the extravagant claims made by c...

      ab: The article presents a discussion of cloud computing, focusing on the great potential which elasticity of scale provides, and the unprecedented security challenges which are also necessarily involved. The author notes that he had previously been somewhat skeptical of the extravagant claims made by cloud computing enthusiasts, but has come to see the elasticity the technology can provide as truly revolutionary. However, he believes the security risks of such technology have not been sufficiently analyzed. These are said to be qualitatively different from the typical security concerns involved with outsourcing.
