Abstract :
The strength of cloud computing is that it dramatically reduces the investment costs for users, required for processing high-volume geospatial data. But in order to have confidential or even classified geospatial data processed in the cloud, service level agreements must ensure the seamless protection of the data. This paper introduces standards for the implementation of security requirements applicable to cloud computing and discusses the concerns towards secure processing of information in the cloud.
