A Study on the Readiness of Cloud Computing for Captious Computations

The emergence cloud computing in the computing arena has had major effect in way the authors utilize computing resources. It is being heralded by many as the new computing paradigm, coming with disruptive technologies which are expected to foster all sorts of innovations. However, further investigations suggest that cloud computing it is nothing new, rather an evolution of different existing technologies creatively integrated together. Therefore, it has inherited strengths and weaknesses of existing technologies, but has lowered the entry bar to computing making it an interesting proposition. In this paper, they propose a security wrapper, which affords enough protection to the classified data as it flows in the cloud. The wrapper offers security to data in motion and at rest, and incorporates adaptive SLA negotiation.
