Popis: Security and privacy have turned out to be major challenges of the further Internet evolution in general and cloud computing, in particular. This paper proposes a novel approach as to how to safeguard against previously unimpeded insider attacks, referred to as Sealed Cloud. A canonical set of technical measures is described, which, in conjunction, sufficiently complicate and thus economically prevent insider access to unencrypted data. This paper shows the advantages versus end-to-end encryption relative to communication services. Another application of the Sealed Cloud, referred to as Sealed Freeze, provides a seminal solution to privacy issues pertaining to data retention.
