Secure Cloud Computing: Virtualizing the FreedomBox- solutions for secure&private cloud computing

Secure Cloud Computing: Virtualizing the FreedomBox- solutions for secure&private cloud computing | WHY IT MATTERS: Digital Transformation | Scoop.it

In 2010 I asked Professor Eben Moglen to speak to the Internet Society of New York about software freedom, privacy and security in the context of cloud computing and social media. In his Freedom in the Cloud talk, he proposed the FreedomBox as a solution: a small inexpensive computer which would provide secure encrypted communications in a decentralized way to defeat data mining and surveillance by governments and large corporations.

Farid Mheir's insight:

Security and privacy concerns are top of mind for corporations and individuals looking to move their data to the cloud. This very technical story provides some insights into what may be offered in the future: fully encrypted data, as soon as it leaves the browser, with minimal overhead. Let's hope we can see this in commercial offerings soon.

Peter Azzopardi's curator insight, April 18, 2014 6:54 PM

Homomorphic encryption allows data to be processed in an encrypted form so that only the end user can access it in a readable form. So far it has been too demanding for normal computers to handle.
