Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book brings together perspectives from multiple disciplines including psychology, law, IS, and computer science on data privacy and trust in the cloud. Cloud technology has fueled rapid, dramatic technological change, enabling a level of connectivity that has never been seen before in human history. However, this brave new world comes with problems. Several high-profile cases over the last few years have demonstrated cloud computing's uneasy relationship with data security and trust. This volume explores the numerous technological, process and regulatory solutions presented in academic literature as mechanisms for building trust in the cloud, including GDPR in Europe. The massive acceleration of digital adoption resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic is introducing new and significant security and privacy threats and concerns. Against this backdrop, this book provides a timely reference and organising framework for considering how we will assure privacy and build trust in such a hyper-connected digitally dependent world. This book presents a framework for assurance and accountability in the cloud and reviews the literature on trust, data privacy and protection, and ethics in cloud computing.

Download or read book Data Protection Regulation and Cloud Computing written by Henry Chang and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The benefits of cloud computing make it appealing to a wide range of organizational customers: from small and medium enterprises to non- government organizations, which lack the expertise or resources to manage a complex and costly internal information technology (IT) infrastructure, to large multinational corporations that are attracted by the potential cost savings. However, despite the management and cost advantages of cloud computing, there are a number of information security and privacy protection concerns in particular, when the cloud is used to process or handle personal data. These concerns result from organizational customers' apparent lack of control over and oversight of the way in which personal data are protected and managed therein. This chapter covers the issues that organizational customers need to consider if they decide to engage the services of cloud providers. It first outlines the basic data protection principles underpinning the obligations of data users/controllers, and then describes the common data protection concerns that organizations have when engaging outsourcers, of which cloud providers are considered as a special type. Finally, the chapter outlines several characteristics of the business model that many cloud providers adopt and how those characteristics affect the protection of personal data privacy. Throughout the discussion, recommendations from data protection authorities (DPAs) are provided, where applicable.

This book was released on 2015-10-27 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2015 in the subject Law - European and International Law, Intellectual Properties, grade: 95,5, Centre International de Formation Européenne - Nice (CIFE European Online Academy), course: European Law - Informational Self Determination in Cloud Computing -- Data Transmission and Privacy with Subcontractors, language: English, abstract: The paper analyses the constraints of the current European directive on data protection regarding the free and active exercise of the right to informational self-determination in cloud computing with subcontractor chains. The analysis focuses in particular on the personal and geographical scope of the protection of personal data, on the legitimation of data processing under the aspect of data transmission into secure and unsecure third countries with subcontractor involvement. Herein it will be critically analysed whether the options under which it is possible to process personal data, will deliver sufficient privacy security in cloud computing. Furthermore, the paper examines the effectiveness and the consequences of possible legitimation of processing personal data in cloud computing. Also, will be regarded the legitimation options to include subcontractors in complex cloud computing landscapes in secure and unsecure third countries. The data subject and the cloud user position and chances to execute their rights of informational self-determination in distributed cloud computing landscapes will be critical looked at. Based on the multiple challenges that the personal data faces in complex cloud computing landscapes, various improvement potentials addressed to different actors emphasis the necessity to reduce the risk to the data subject ́s informational self-determination in cloud computing. Finally, the recent regulation on general data protection that was published by the Council on 11th June 2015 will be cross-checked against the identified gaps of the currently existing data protection directive, with an emphasis on the requirements to achieve informational self-determination.

Download or read book Data Protection Jurisdiction and Cloud Computing When are Cloud Users and Providers Subject to EU Data Protection Law The Cloud of Unknowing Part 3 written by W. Kuan Hon and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Where data centres located in the European Economic Area ('EEA') are utilised for cloud computing services, the customers, and in some circumstances even cloud service providers, could become subject to the EU Data Protection Directive on the basis that the data centre may be an 'establishment' of theirs, or involves their 'making use' of equipment in the EEA. This may be the case whether the utilisation is direct or indirect through 'layers', for example where a non-EEA cloud user uses the services of an EEA provider, or indeed of a non-EEA provider who happens to use an EEA cloud provider or a data centre situated in the EEA. Software as a Service providers may similarly find themselves subject to the Directive if they save or retrieve cookies or the like on their end users' equipment, as EU data protection regulators have asserted, not without controversy. Even within the EEA, national implementations diverge. The current legal uncertainties are unsatisfactory, and may discourage the use of EEA data centres or EEA providers for cloud computing. This paper argues that Data Protection Directive obligations should be applied to entities based on country of origin, within the EEA, and targeting or directing, for non-EEA entities, with clear tests for both concepts. While the draft Data Protection Regulation would introduce approaches based on country of origin and targeting, the concepts it uses in that regard fail to address many of the current problems. The concepts of 'establishment', 'context of activities' and 'main establishment', if retained, need to be further clarified and harmonised, and the new concepts of 'occasionally offering' and 'monitoring' further explained. The status of providers of physical and software infrastructure, as well as intermediate providers, would also benefit from further clarification, in particular as regards in what circumstances EU data protection laws apply to processors, and which rules apply to cloud providers as processors.
Download or read book Privacy and Data Protection Challenges in the Distributed Era written by Eugenia Politou and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-10-22 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the conflicts arising from the implementation of privacy principles enshrined in the GDPR, and most particularly of the ``Right to be Forgotten'', on a wide range of contemporary organizational processes, business practices, and emerging computing platforms and decentralized technologies. Among others, we study two ground-breaking innovations of our distributed era: the ubiquitous mobile computing and the decentralized p2p networks such as the blockchain and the IPFS, and we explore their risks to privacy in relation to the principles stipulated by the GDPR. In that context, we identify major inconsistencies between these state-of-the-art technologies with the GDPR and we propose efficient solutions to mitigate their conflicts while safeguarding the privacy and data protection rights. Last but not least, we analyse the security and privacy challenges arising from the COVID-19 pandemic during which digital technologies are extensively utilized to surveil people’s lives.
