You mention:
"When the information is being processed it is much harder for an unauthorised person to access."
This is contrary to what systems and network experts are saying. What is your source?

I'm travelling at the moment and do not have any materials with me to identify the source per se. The point that I was considering was the greater ease of identification of unauthorised third party access while the information is being processed, in particular when that processing involves a person manipulating the information.

Thank you for explaining.
I might suggest that is a false hope in most cases due to inadequate authentication practices. My information has this area as being the weak link.
Work is now underway to not decrypt data and still be able to use it.

I have grave concerns for the security of data in the so-called cloud as well as in phones and other stored services. I will not cover the reasons why, but it goes back to my Dad's tendency as a Lawyer/Barrister to be skeptical of almost everything. Anyway, in my circle I seem to be one of the few who read TOS and EULA fine print, so when IT Business Edge publish this on about April 24th this year:
???When you upload or otherwise submit content to our Services, you give Google (and those we work with) a worldwide license to use, host, store, reproduce, modify, create derivative works (such as those resulting from translations, adaptations or other changes we make so that your content works better with our Services), communicate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute such content."
It kind of piques my interest to say the least since my first question is "how wide spread is this clause in the cloud and other private, semi-private, and quasi-private storage areas?"
As they say, just because you are paranoid does not mean they are not out to get you.
My personal opinion is to over-protect personal data, especially when banks, Motor vehicle registries et al, sell your info on to third parties ( amongst many other groups)

The most obvious approach to improving the security of private data is to store less of it in public places.
This truism does not seem to get much attention, yet it is an obvious concept and I think worth considering more seriously.
Does info that a person or company doesn't feel comfortable sharing really have to be shared? Would it bring the economy to its knees, for instance, if a business interacted with me on the internet without ever knowing my name? I interact with brick-and-mortar businesses without them demanding to know my full particulars every time I enter and exit their premises. So, do web-based businesses REALLY need all the data they collect on customers, or is it just more convenient for them?
It might help to look at this problem with the attitude (regardless of how completely accurate it is) that the WWW was designed to collect personal data on individuals for purposes best known to the corporate interests that have supported its growth. That was NOT the purpose of the internet before the dot com boom. So, was that change progress, or was it a hostile takeover?
