We send, store, process and return encrypted data through S3/EC2/SQS all day, every day.

Encrypted while being processed? No data exists even temporarily in RAM decrypted?

Healthcare is an example where cloud computing has several obstacles. Healthcare tends to be behind the technology curve especially in the provider space and that location of data (encrypted even) outside of the physical facilities is problematic from a legal perspective. Is the Cloud provider willing to accept the legal costs of defending alleged information leaks? Client could be after current, future, punitive damages. How well does the Cloud provider trust their own people? Financial Services will also have similar issues.

However, it will be worked out over time. Price pressures on providers will force them to finally upgrade infrastructure and cloud computing will be a necessary component in that new architecture.

Payors have similar concerns but quite the same price pressure points.






Cloud computing is like counting sheep?
