Data Protection Service for Securing Data in Cloud

Abstract

Offering powerful data protection to cloud users while authorizing rich applications is a challenging task. We explore a new cloud platform architecture called Data Protection as a Service, which dramatically reduces the per-application development effort required to offer data protection, while still allowing rapid development and maintenance. Cloud computing promises lower costs, rapid scaling, easier maintenance, and services that are available anywhere, anytime. A key challenge in moving to the cloud is to ensure and build confidence that user data is handled securely in the cloud.
