The Privacy & Security Implications of Cloud Computing: Super Workshop  
257

November 17, 2009

14:30 to 17:00

International Congress Center (Room 2 Red Sea)

Panel Description

Cloud Computing and its privacy and security implications are at the  
forefront of news media debate around the world. However, only  
regulators from developed countries are discussing its privacy and  
security policy implications. In 2008-2009, the US Federal Trade  
Commission and The Ontario Privacy Commissioner have discussed the  
matter. The Council of Europe raised the question of cloud computing,  
jurisdiction and international law enforcement at its Octopus  
conference in March 2009. The OECD discussed the subject during a  
workshop organized by the Committee for Information, Computer and  
Communications Policy (ICCP) in October 2009. Civil Society has  
advocated for strong data protection laws and heightened enforcement,  
business interests dispute that regulation is necessary while law  
enforcement agencies highlight the challenges for investigating  
cybercrime and securing electronic evidence when the data is stored in  
the cloud. Those services are being used all over the world. However,  
there is a lack of understanding of the issue and a lack of  
participation by stakeholders from developing countries in this debate.

This workshop will explain the definition and various types of cloud  
computing services, and focus the policy debate on privacy and  
security risks of those services at user level. The objective is to  
understand how personal data is managed and processed, and to develop  
effective policy frameworks so that users can exercise control over  
their own personal data when that data is stored and processed in the  
cloud. It will also be discussed how the current system of mutual  
legal assistance and jurisdiction may work for law enforcement  
agencies when the data is stored in the cloud, and attempt to identify  
the policy implications of cloud computing on security, privacy and  
law enforcement. This workshop will wrap up the various discussions  
held in different venues during 2009.
