Cloud computing scenario has provided scope to support data management including storage, and access. We also simultaneously come across apprehensions on its viability in terms of security, trust and tractability of data users and service providers.
Service orientation in e-governance has been a very important factor which looks for secured data management that may include sensitive data of sectors like banking, and government agencies. at the same time, it is also important that citizens get instant access to services on demand independent of location and time with optimized cost.
Will then cloud computing and e-governance come together to support this cause? Ate there any specific examples/ case to benchmark?
In India we have experienced the benefits of Aadhar oriented services. It is a great beginning, but we are yet to reap the benefits of convergence.
Issue with the cloud computing and also with tools of e-governance is that they are both "top-down" created by the visons of development of government and development of IT. In this perspective the main flaw is lack of interest of citizens to use available services on one hand and on the other hand lack of the desire to create IT tools that would be usable by the general population. somehow it means that when peoplewill not be ignored by institutions in their demands and when applications will be based on real needs than the gap will be probably reduced. Till that time, such move is hardly imaginable and it can be connected to the group of people, who would activate themselves even without the IT tools. I did small reseach in some Slovenian case - people do not use lots of the IT possibilities for different reason such as lack of knowledge, lack of interest and bad targeting of the real needs (when i manage to get paper published it will be available).
We need to distinguish (Or I would say classify) information and applications posted to the cloud into two categories. This where public cloud and private cloud comes to be important.
Hi
In Peru, Cloud computing is considered a good alternative, but unfortunately orient e-services "crash" with current regulation . protecting personal data Acts that can not be adapted by providers (especially foreigners) make Cloud solutions very difficult to implement (or impossible) or not inspire confidence digital average citizen, especially for security issues.
The post by Dr. Manuel supports my premise in this regard. I guess the legal framework also is needed to be considered.
Hi Emad and colleges. I take this opportunity to discuss an issue that affects me every month: the Office of National Statistics in Peru makes a "survey" on gross income of certain businesses "randomly" from 2013 to estimates of the national GDP.
I am CEO of an information security company and ask me to enter the monthly income, bank accounts of the company, the personal data of the employee payroll ... in short, a whole "banquet" for criminals.
The solution used is Cloud. By asking some kind of guarantee complying with current data protection laws, the Statistical Office has been puzzled: did not know about these laws. Amen.
Dear Manuel:
is this reality or what? I guess this is surprising still the security issues are contradictory. I have done research with a colleague of mine (under review by a journal) and it yielded catastrophic issues when dealing with vulnerabilities and exploits. The surprising issue is the same for the ministry of information and communication of Jordan, which should be the masters of this. Can you believe this
