Dr.Sarat Chandra Babu4, Neeraja Atri 2, Savitha Gowda1, and Sonu Gupta3
Abstract:
Security in cloud environment involves review of the management domain of the cloud and also who owns the rights assignments to the Meta data. Real concerns over who controls the management domain and the meta data rights matters, thus the provider of cloud must be able to not only just technically address the issues but be reviewed from a trust standpoint that is not typical of most Internet relationships. Government departments can save on the overall cost by using cloud infrastructure in maintaining and managing eservices. However the concern is elevated when open source tools play a major role. How secure is e-governance on open cloud?? The objective of this paper is to discuss how e
Governance services can be economically deployed on the cloud, the Cloud advantage and also seeks clearance for the undying doubts on the information security.
Key words: Cloud computing, e-Governance, Open Source Software, Service oriented
Architecture (SOA), Open Cloud; Information Security
