Windows Azure: Using Windows Azure's Service Bus to Solve Data Security Issues
Don Chambers · CSU ePress (Columbus State University) · 2010
Many of the largest technology companies are heavily investing in Cloud Computing technology, making this a major force in the realm of software development. However, this software paradigm brings with it significant data related security issues. This paper discusses some of these security issues and presents a solution. The solution calls for storing data outside of the cloud, and under the control of the cloud consumer. In addition, the solution provides the ability to manipulate data using only the standard HTTP ports that are typically opened at most locations. This solution is implemented using Microsoft's Windows Azure Cloud Computing operating system. The Windows Azure Service Bus is used to facilitate data access for a cloud based application.
