  1. CloudTrust Protocol Orientation and Status CloudTrust Protocol Orientation

  2. CloudTrust Protocol Orientation Topics • Why is it? • What is it? • CTP transfer to CSA • {Strong} connection to CloudAudit • Existing plans & strategies • Things for the CSA/CloudAudit to “resolve” • … other stuff … CloudTrust Protocol Orientation

  3. The Value Equation in the Cloud VALUE Captured Delivering evidence-based confidence… with compliance-supporting data & artifacts. CloudTrust Protocol Orientation

  4. The CTP Transfer • Nonexclusive, no-cost, royalty-free license to CloudTrust Protocol(CTP Version 2.0 – see reference #2 below) • Nonexclusive, no-cost, royalty-free license to make derivative works of/for the CTP • CSC representative as co-chair of CSA’s CTP Working Group • CSA to include an acknowledgement that CSC is the original developer of the CTP in any published materials (including electronic publication) that mention the CTP • Free, unrestricted use of CTP derivative works by CSC References See “Digital Trust in the Cloud”, August 2009, www.csc.com/security/insights/32270-digital_trust_in_the_cloud See “Digital Trust in the Cloud: A Precis on the CloudTrust Protocol (V2.0)”, July 2010, http://www.csc.com/cloud/insights/57785-into_the_cloud_with_ctp See “CSA + CTP = Nebula Nova”, 25 July 2011, http://www.csc.com/cloud/blog/68078-csa_ctp_nebula_nova_a_commentary_and_essay CloudTrust Protocol Orientation

  5. Research Conclusions SummaryInitial Results-August 2009 • The desire to benefit from the elastic promise of cloud processing is blocked for most enterprise applications because of security and privacy concerns. • The re-introduction of transparency into the cloud is the single biggest action needed to create digital trust in a cloud and enable the capture of enterprise-scale payoffs in cloud processing. • Even today there are ways to benefit from cloud processing while technologies and techniques to deliver digital trust in the cloud are evolving. • CSC has created a definition and an approach to "orchestrate" a trusted cloud and restore needed transparency. • Resist the temptation to jump into even a so-called “secure” cloud just to save money. Aim higher! Jump into the right “trusted” cloud to create and capture new enterprise value.

  6. CloudTrust Protocol RevealedResearch Extension Detailing “What” and “How” – July 2010 • Transparency in the cloud is the key to capturing digital trust payoffs for both cloud consumers and cloud providers. • The CloudTrust Protocol (CTP) offers an uncomplicated, natural way to request and receive fundamental information about essential elements of transparency. • The reliable delivery of only a few elements of transparency generate a lot of digital trust, and that digital trust liberates cloud users to bring more and more core enterprise services and data to cloud techniques. • Transparency-as-a-Service (TaaS) using the CTP provides a flexible, uniform, and simple technique for reclaiming transparency into actual cloud architectures, configurations, services, and status … responding to both cloud user and cloud provider needs. • Transparency protocols like the CTP must be accompanied by corresponding concepts of operation and contractual conditions to be completely effective.

  7. CTP V2.0Next Updates will be Published through the Cloud Security Alliance • Syntax • Semantics • Self-defined response(No insistence on orthodoxy) • Asset model • Scope of response • Implementation/deployment options • Extension CloudTrust Protocol Orientation

  9. Transparency as a Service (TaaS) Authorized Users What does my cloud computing configuration look like now? Where are my data and processing being performed? What vulnerabilities exist in my cloud configuration? What audit events have occurred in my cloud configuration? Who has access to my data now? CloudTrust Protocol Orientation

Undecideds… • Evidence Request category “integrity and liability verification technique” • Attest to the content, provenance, and imputability of the response (with legal import) • Transmission integrity not sufficient; Require legal liability of intent to provide response as delivered • E.g, Surety AbsoluteProof technique • Final namespace • Trust package correlation with all contributing (traditional) security services • Identity store for transparency service authorizations CloudTrust Protocol Orientation

  19. Undecideds… • EoT extension technique • Characteristics of specification • Degree of automation • Business constructs and back office issues, e.g., • SLA foundations • Concepts of operation • Service Terms & Conditions recommendations • Transparency operator training and operations monitoring CloudTrust Protocol Orientation
