Automating Data Protection Across the Enterprise
This article builds on the foundational Regulatory Compliant Cloud Computing (RC3) architecture for application security in the cloud by defining a Data Encryption Infrastructure(DEI) which is not application specific. DEI encompasses technology components and an application architecture that governs the protection of sensitive data within an enterprise.

Encrypting the Internet
The authors, from Intel, offer a three pronged approach to providing secure transmission of high volume HTML traffic: new CPU instructions to accelerate cryptographic operations; a novel implementation of the RSA algorithm to accelerate public key encryption; and using SMT to balance web server and cryptographic operations. Their approach, they claim, leads to significant cost savings.
