How Secure Is Cloud Computing?
Cloud computing services, such as Amazon’s EC2 and Google Apps, are booming. But are they secure enough? Friday’s ACM Cloud Computing Security Workshop in Chicago was the first such event devoted specifically to cloud security.
Speakers included Whitfield Diffie, a cryptographer and security researcher who, in 1976, helped solve a fundamental problem of cryptography: how to securely pass along the “keys” that unlock encrypted material for intended recipients.

Cryptography solutions are far-off, but much can be done in the near term, says Whitfield Diffie.
