Privacy preserving in Cloud Computing

Abstract

Cloud computing promises an open environment where customers can deploy IT services in pay-as-you-go fashion while saving huge capital investment in their own IT infrastructure. Due to the openness, protection of customer privacy becomes critical because otherwise customers may eventually lose the confidence of deploying cloud computing in practice. In this talk, we will discuss privacy protection in general and then propose our solution to address a particular type of privacy protection in cloud computing.
