  • Security in the Cloud

Security will be the top priority in 2012 for mobile cloud computing. In fact, the explosion of cloud computing services and development of portable connected devices mean that issues revolving around trust, security and interoperability issues must be re-examined. To provide businesses and government authorities with secure cloud computing requires a combination of two security approaches: information technology and Smart Security, for which identity and strong authentication, involving use of chips, are core issues.

Indeed, it was a must for CARTES, the reference exhibition in digital security, to dedicate a sector to cloud computing.

The CARTES 2012 Security in the Cloud sector (hall 3) will therefore provide a new platform for service models and applied technology enabling cloud computing services to be provided, and will welcome handset manufacturers, telecoms operators and Smart Security players.
