Beschreibung

Cloud storage is a becoming a preferred method for storing data, largely owing to its cheapness, scalability and flexibility.  Individuals and companies utilize data from public cloud storage repositories knowingly or ignorantly.  However, recent events have shown that data outsourced to the public cloud providers cannot be assured of privacy and security, unauthorized  access to data can be made from several  sources including untrusted providers, government security agencies or other malicious third parties.  This has an undesired affect on the adoption of cloud storage and creates a choice for other similar options which are usually more expensive like private cloud storage.

The focus of the seminar is to design and develop innovative approaches for securing public cloud storage. Current seminar topics focus on the field of secure authentication and device management.
