Expert Warns About Cloud Computing
A researcher, Alex Stamos, raised questions about the security of cloud computing and warned that issues of encryption, security policy control and the human factor need to be answered by cloud computing providers. Stamos points out that most providers do not offer true encryption, and there are inherent challenges in producing sufficiently random encryption keys. Also, many cloud providers fail to offer the kind of granular policy control that many organizations require, and there is no way of knowing who has access to the data in the cloud.
