"Prism door" forcing China's cloud computing standards

According to overseas media reports, the U.S. National Security Agency secretly monitors the activities of the 9 largest Internet companies in the United States, "prism door" exposure. Countries and regions around the world are re-examining the secrecy of the US-led internet, fearing the safety of data stored in U.S. servers. But analysts point out that the exposure of prism doors may revive the problem of internet autonomy in many countries, and that the cloud computing market is likely to lead to accelerated growth.

US dominates Internet root server

We know that a computer connected to the Internet must first find the DNS server assigned to its region, and through DNS resolution to enter the specific network. Root server is mainly used to manage the Internet's home directory, the world only 13, 1 primary root servers in the United States, the remaining 12 are supplemented by the root server. One of the 9 United States, 2 Europe, respectively, in the United Kingdom and Sweden, 1 Asia, located in Japan. All root servers are managed by the United States Government-mandated Internet domain name and number distribution agency, ICANN, for global Internet domain name root servers, domain name systems, and IP addresses. These 13 root servers can command Web browsers and e-mail programs such as Internet Explorer or Firefox to program Internet traffic. The United States holds the Internet. The root server is the equivalent of holding the Internet's life gate, if we refuse to accept U.S. control, we need to establish their own independent domain Name system, but because of the need for equipment investment is very large, technology risk, so so far few people dare to rashly try.

Cloud management overlooked, countries to mend

The BBC commented that the U.S. National Security Agency access to personal information via the Internet, mainly to take advantage of the management of cloud computing technology, the vast number of user data is no longer stored on personal computers, but in the hands of cloud service providers, this is the United States "Prism gate" can happen the most fundamental reason. In fact, cloud computing technology is also a double-edged sword, the proper use of cloud computing technology also opens up the possibility of Internet independence: Now every cloud computing center is very large, its data processing capacity and Internet coverage has reached unprecedented level, if the adoption of new technologies and communication standards, it is possible to achieve immediate results. Germany, for example, is already building its own independent cloud computing services and claiming that "cloud services, German manufacturing" provide services to local businesses in Germany. The French government has invested 150 million euros to finance local cloud service providers Cloudwatt and Numergy, allowing France to handle online information independently of American companies. The European Commission has recently been preparing to introduce a data protection decree, including the strengthening of regulation of data protection for third-country companies, or the "Prism Gate" event, or to facilitate the passage of the decree.

China's cyber security hopes to be independent cloud standards

2012 China's cloud computing market size of more than 60 billion yuan, an increase of 92.3%, 2013 China's cloud computing market will be more than 110 billion yuan, cloud security issues will focus on the outbreak, so the implementation of relatively independent Chinese cloud computing standards or will be the only way to protect the cloud security. Many academics and experts are calling for the country to introduce relevant cloud-computing industry standards, which are expected to be officially announced by the end of the year.

Zhaopo, dean of China Institute of Electronic Technology Standardization, said: "Standardization organizations at home and abroad have different concerns about cloud computing standards, and no organization has yet studied the standard system of cloud computing as a whole." However, all parties including ISO, IEC and ITU are actively promoting the implementation of cloud computing standards, especially the security and interoperability of cloud computing has become the focus of industry attention and research. But before the cloud-computing standards were officially released, the game between the service provider and the solution will also intensify, how much the foreign top IT companies can get in the industry standard, how much the standard will tilt to Chinese local enterprises, and the future industrial position of cloud computing is our concern.

Domestic cloud Enterprise to be ready, Pillow Yi Dan

Many of the country's it elites, which dominate technology and market dominance, are also gearing up for their own wizardry, trying to make a difference in cloud computing standards and cloud security. For example: China's famous cloud computing provides Shangbaode is lead, in adhering to improve their own cloud computing product application strength, and continuously promote the development of independent intellectual property rights in China's cloud computing standards. According to its founder Li Ruijie, Pao Current main work, in addition to the refinement, perfect cloud computing solutions to meet the needs of users, will be more active participation in the drawing of cloud computing standards, and the Shenzhen Cloud Association, Guangdong Province, Cloud Computing Application Association, China Cloud Computing Application Alliance and other related organizations, Cloud computing industry chain upstream and downstream partners and users, in order to launch the first open China cloud computing standards and make unremitting efforts.

It is learned that the group was founded in 1997, is based on cloud computing solutions services as the core business of High-tech enterprise groups. Pao created the Pao brand server to stabilize the domestic server brand three strong, and become the top ten in Asia, Bao Tak has the most comprehensive server research and development, production, manufacturing capabilities. Pao in many years of industry information service experience based on the formation of a number of industry demand for cloud computing solutions. Integrated infrastructure and solutions to the two major advantages of resources, PO Tak has become a small number of independent innovation capabilities of the cloud computing solutions provider.

"Prism Door" indicates that the Internet does exist in many security traps, cloud computing standards are related to the security strategy of the Internet, good cloud standards can be developed to some extent to solve cloud computing security problems. From this point of view, "prism doors" seem to be forcing cloud computing standards.
