In the last few years, cloud computing has grown from being a promising business concept to one of the fastest growing segments of the IT industry. Now, recession-hit companies are increasingly realizing that simply by tapping into the cloud they can gain fast access to best-of-breed business applications or drastically boost their infrastructure resources, all at negligible cost. But as more and more information on individuals and companies is placed in the cloud, concerns are beginning to grow about just how safe an environment it is. This paper discusses security issues, requirements and challenges that cloud service providers (CSP) face during cloud engineering. Recommended security standards and management models to address these are suggested for technical and business community.
Cloud Computing offers an on-demand and scalable access to a shared pool of resources hosted in a data center at providers’ site. It reduces the overheads of up-front investments and financial risks for the end-user. Regardless of the fact that cloud computing offers great advantages to the end users, there are several challenging issues that are mandatory to be addressed.
The aim of this project is to secure the sensitive outsourced data with encryption and data fragmentation within the cloud provider. The major requirements for achieving security in outsourced cloud databases are confidentiality, privacy, availability and integrity. While achieving the requirements various data confidentiality mechanisms of fragmentation and encryption of data are used. This project presents a method for secure and confidential storage of data in the cloud environment based on fragmentation. Applying encryption and obfuscation techniques on the cloud data will provide more protection against unauthorized access of sensitive data of a private user.

Cloud computing began to get both awareness and popularity in the early 2000s.
When the concept of cloud computing originally came to prominence most people did
not fully understand what role it fullled or how it helped an organization. In some
cases people still do not fully understand the concept of cloud computing. Cloud
computing can refer to business intelligence (BI), complex event processing (CEP),
service-oriented architecture (SOA), Software as a Service (SaaS), Web-oriented architecture
(WOA), and even Enterprise 2.0. With the advent and growing acceptance
of cloud-based applications like Gmail, Google Calendar, Flickr, Google Docs, and
Delicious, more and more individuals are now open to using a cloud computing environment
than ever before. As this need has continued to grow so has the support
and surrounding infrastructure needed to support it. To meet those needs companies
like Google, Microsoft, and Amazon have started growing server farms in order to
provide companies with the ability to store, process, and retrieve data while generating
income for themselves. To meet this need Google has brought on-line more
than a million servers in over 30 data centers across its global network. Microsoft
is also investing billions to grow its own cloud infrastructure. Microsoft is currently
adding an estimated 20,000 servers a month. With this amount of process, storage
and computing power coming online, the concept of cloud computing is more of a
reality than ever before. The growth of cloud computing had the net eect of businesses
migrating to a new way of managing their data infrastructure. This growth of
cloud computing capabilities has been described as driving massive centralization at
its deep center to take advantage of economies of scale in computing power, energy
consumption, cooling, and administration.

Identity-Based Key Management in MANETs Using Public Key CryptographyCSCJournals
Wireless mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) are an emerging area of mobile computing. MANETs face serious security problems due to their unique characteristics such as mobility, dynamic topology and lack of central infrastructure support. In conventional networks, deploying a robust and reliable security scheme such as Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) requires a central authority or trusted third party to provide fundamental security services including digital certificates, authentication and encryption. In the proposed scheme, a secure identity-based key management scheme is proposed for networks in environments without any PKI. This scheme solved the security problem in the MANET and is suitable for application to other wired network structures

Protecting data privacy in analytics and machine learning ISACA London UKUlf Mattsson
ISACA London Chapter webinar, Feb 16th 2021
Topic: “Protecting Data Privacy in Analytics and Machine Learning”
Abstract:
In this session, we will discuss a range of new emerging technologies for privacy and confidentiality in machine learning and data analytics. We will discuss how to put these technologies to work for databases and other data sources.
When we think about developing AI responsibly, there’s many different activities that we need to think about.
This session also discusses international standards and emerging privacy-enhanced computation techniques, secure multiparty computation, zero trust, cloud and trusted execution environments. We will discuss the “why, what, and how” of techniques for privacy preserving computing.
We will review how different industries are taking opportunity of these privacy preserving techniques. A retail company used secure multi-party computation to be able to respect user privacy and specific regulations and allow the retailer to gain insights while protecting the organization’s IP. Secure data-sharing is used by a healthcare organization to protect the privacy of individuals and they also store and search on encrypted medical data in cloud.
We will also review the benefits of secure data-sharing for financial institutions including a large bank that wanted to broaden access to its data lake without compromising data privacy but preserving the data’s analytical quality for machine learning purposes.
It will be a quick intro about Cloud Security Alliance (CSA). Overview of current cloud security research, events and other opportunities are covered. We will touch cloud security related certifications (for professionals and companies that provide cloud offerings)/ CSA Lviv Chapter membership and active participation will be discussed as well.
Privacy preserving computing and secure multi-party computation ISACA AtlantaUlf Mattsson
A major challenge that many organizations faces, is how to address data privacy regulations such as CCPA, GDPR and other emerging regulations around the world, including data residency controls as well as enable data sharing in a secure and private fashion. We will present solutions that can reduce and remove the legal, risk and compliance processes normally associated with data sharing projects by allowing organizations to collaborate across divisions, with other organizations and across jurisdictions where data cannot be relocated or shared.
We will discuss secure multi-party computation where organizations want to securely share sensitive data without revealing their private inputs. We will review solutions that are driving faster time to insight by the use of different techniques for privacy-preserving computing including homomorphic encryption, k-anonymity and differential privacy. We will present best practices and how to control privacy and security throughout the data life cycle. We will also review industry standards, implementations, policy management and case studies for hybrid cloud and on-premises.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
