Application of the holistic Data Privacy and Security Framework PaaSword: A focus on the integration in industrial Pilots

Even though the adoption of cloud computing is accelerating, enterprises are still reluctant to use cloud-based services for processing sensible data, due to security and privacy concerns. The PaaSword framework provides functionalities for encrypted and distributed storage and context-aware access control, leveraging security and trust of cloud infrastructures and services and ensuring the protection, privacy and integrity of the data stored in the cloud. For proving its applicability, usability, effectiveness and value, the PaaSword consortium is currently developing and evaluating five pilot integration projects, which consist of typical scenarios specific to the particular user communities of which the pilot partners are part of, including PaaS providers, governmental institutions, logistics industry and providers of business applications. After a short overview of the framework, we present in detail expectations and integration experiences for two of the pilots: \"Protection of personal data in a multi-tenant CRM environment\" and \"Secure sensors data fusion and analytics\".
