There are at least two key features of the move to cloud computing that introduce the opportunity for significant leaps forward in computer security for tenant services. First, a compute cloud provides a common software, hardware and management basis for rolling out cross-cutting services en masse that have resisted incremental deployment in a one-service-at-a-time fashion. Second, compute clouds offer providers a broad view of activity across an unprecedented diversity of tenant services. This research project leverages these features to develop new approaches to a wide array of fundamental problems in computer security. By convening Cloud Security Horizons summits with industry stakeholders, this project further seeks to both contribute to industry directions in cloud computing and to be informed by them.Particular longstanding security challenges addressed in this project include secure transport, authorization, user and software authentication, security monitoring, and incident analysis. Moreover, since modern clouds are not sufficiently extensible to support the envisioned capabilities, this project is constructing cloud software platforms that enable the flexibility, extensibility and security needed for this research to come to fruition in practice.

转移到云计算的至少有两个关键功能，为租户服务的计算机安全方面带来了重大飞跃的机会。 首先，Compute Cloud提供了一个常见的软件，硬件和管理基础，用于推出交叉切割服务，该服务以抗空的方式拒绝增量部署。 其次，计算云为提供者提供了跨户服务多样性的活动的广泛视野。 该研究项目利用这些功能来开发新的方法来解决计算机安全方面的各种基本问题。 通过与行业利益相关者召集云安全视野峰会，该项目进一步寻求为云计算中的行业方向做出贡献，并由他们告知。该项目中涉及的尤其长期安全挑战包括安全运输，授权，用户和软件身份验证，安全监控和事件分析。 此外，由于现代云不足以支持所设想的功能，因此该项目正在构建云软件平台，从而使这项研究在实践中实现所需的灵活性，可扩展性和安全性。
