Threats to cloud data storage, mobile devices Nov 6th 2013, 20:22 As more businesses find their way into the cloud, few engage in security measures beyond those provided by the associated cloud storage firm, a new report notes. Even fewer seek heightened data protection because of concerns that usability and access to remote data would be significantly reduced. | Locking down the cloud Nov 6th 2013, 16:39 A software re-encryption system could allow users to pay for and run applications "in the cloud" without revealing their identity to the cloud host. The same approach would also allow the software providers to lock out malicious users. | Locking down the cloud Nov 6th 2013, 16:39 A software re-encryption system could allow users to pay for and run applications "in the cloud" without revealing their identity to the cloud host.

Their results provide information on NV centers that is important for such highly promising advanced technologies as supersensitive detections of magnetic fields and quantum computing. | |
