Accountability for Cloud and Other Future Internet Services
The A4Cloud research project will increase trust in cloud computing. This 42-month, € 14 million project is led by HP Labs, and will devise methods and tools, through which cloud stakeholders can be made accountable for the privacy and confidentiality of information held in the cloud. These methods and tools will combine risk analysis, policy enforcement, monitoring and compliance auditing. They will contribute to the governance of cloud activities, providing transparency and assisting legal, regulatory and socio-economic policy enforcement.
