Speaking in Australia, noted cryptographer and IT security pioneer Whit Diffie commented on Cloud Computing's potential to destroy current security approaches, but improve security overall for the masses.

"At worst [cloud computing] will fundamentally destroy the current security paradigm," he said. "But on the other hand it's going to substantially improve the average level of security of ordinary shleps who didn't pay any attention to the matter."

Diffie's presentation was another example of the global nature of Cloud Computing, and was made as the world turns its eyes toward Europe next month for Cloud Expo Europe in Prague June 21-22. He became famous in the 70s with breakthrough security-key research, and served as a Distinguished Engineer at Sun for almost 20 years (and was also a Sun Fellow). He was one of those that haven't made the transition from Sun to Oracle, and now serves as a VP with ICANN.

Diffie said he believes that "cloud computing will become very widespread," and that "there's going to be a tremendous security gain by pushing things into standard security practices" if companies start to adapt government security contract models. "Contracts will have to occur very fast" to cater to demand for services needed for only a few minutes or fractions of a second...You've got to know whether those people are capable of fulfilling the contract. They've gone through a set of bureaucratic hurdles so that all of a sudden if a secret contract comes up it can be awarded overnight - there's very little example of that in the civilian world."

He also warned against a rise of that seemingly invariable tendency for any business that's run by humans: proprietary methods. "Above the (open-source) GPL, everything Google does is a trade secret," he noted.
