Legal Issues in the Cloud

Ensuring a secure cloud system (and ecosystem) is a highly specialized and interdisciplinary field. It requires a deep understanding of the underlying technical, social, public policy, regulatory, and legal and law enforcement aspects, as well as intimate knowledge of temporal trends (historical, recent, and emerging). Although security, privacy, public policy, legal, and forensic challenges associated with cloud computing have attracted academic attention-particularly the issues relating to data sovereignty and confidentiality and to the inadequacy of our existing legislative and regulatory frameworks to protect data from prying eyes-research on the topic is still in its infancy.
