All major service providers today have devices with security except the internet. Your Phone has strong hardware based securty that assures the device is allowed and that the service can't be easily messed with. Set top boxes have security and changing channels is easy. Credit cards don't have strong security and look at the mess we are in. The cloud needs two core security components. Identity: This is not user ID and password as we know it but strong access control and ultimately strong federation. This is critical so that cloud operations can be performed anonymously. an example would be location based service calculations. There is know reason that google latitude needs to know who you are it just needs to process data. Ideally this data is process in a manor that if the feds showed up with a subpeona they would not be able to track an individual. perhaps a user can send an invitation with strong Crypto that would enable another device or user to see where you are but google does not know who it is. To do this well we need the ability to hold strong tamper resistant and theft resistant keys in every device and we need to store Hundreds of them. I beleive the Trusted Platform Module that is now on 300 million PC would provide that role. The second key thing that is needed is strong bulk encryption. This is so that we can store a backup of my harddrive in the cloud but only I know the data. On my machine it is in the clear on the cloud it is encrypted. I beleive that in time we will see the emergence of Cloud -Client computing models that are the result of central infrastructure in the cloud but local computing to keep the information secure. It is not necessary we trust the cloud and we need to be very carfull about how the LAW views service providers verses internal data. Encryption and the key managment that goes with it can really drive utility computing to a whole new model. The future is an enterprise without Walls with all devices on the network. This software configurable enterprise will be based on Keys and Identities. The hardware technology is much farther along then the big picture thinking and applications like Medical Records and joint goverment development projects are beginning to understand that Every PC deployed has a common securty chip on the motherboard.
