 Openstack : An IaaS Cloud Computing Project
launched by Rackspace Cloud and NASA in 2010, jointly

 Currently, 120 companies have joined the Openstack.

 Openstack ise used to create private cloud and offer cloud compute
(Nova), object storage (Swift) and image services (Glance).
 The project offers free open-source software under the Apache
license. The Openstack cloud software is written in Python,

Security and Trust Barriers

in Cloud Computing
 Protecting datacenters must first secure cloud resources and uphold user
privacy and data integrity.

 Trust overlay networks could be applied to build reputation systems for

establishing the trust among interactive datacenters.

 A watermarking technique is suggested to protect shared data objects and

massively distributed software modules.

 These techniques safeguard user authentication and tighten the data access-
control in public clouds.

 The new approach could be more cost-effective than using the traditional
encryption and firewalls to secure the clouds.
