1>MSC IN COMPUTING WOULD ENABLE ME TO HAVE DEEPER KNOWLEDGE ABOUT VARIOUS PROGRAMMING SKILS, NETWORKING AND INFORMATION MANAGEMENT SKILS.FURTHER I CAN PURSUE P.H.D.
2>IT INVOLVES ALL THE THREE BASIC FEATURES OF COMPUTING SUCH AS NETWORKING,INFORMATION MANAGEMENT AND HARDCORE PROGRAMMING.
3>IT WILL ADD FEATHERS TO MY ACADEMIC CAP AS THE MASTERS DEGREE IS MOST SOUGHT BY THE RECRUITERS.
4>NO DOUBTLY COMPUTING FIELD WILL BE THE HOT FAVOURITES FOR AGES,AS TECHNOLOGY IS ADVANCING AND WE ALL ARE BECOMING MORE INCLINED TOWARDS COMPUTING.
SO MSC IN COMPUTING WOULD MEAN GOLDEN TICKET TO THE FUTURE WHERE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS.

INTRODUCTION:
CLOUD COMPUTING IS INTERNET BASED COMPUTING,WHERE ON DEMAND SERVICES AND RESOURCES ARE BEING PROVIDED TO USERS I.E THEY HAVE TO PAY ONLY FOR THE RESOURCES AND SERVICE THEY SHARE.IT COVERS SEVERAL DIFFERENT ASPECTS OF CLOUDS.IT PROVIDES EFECIENT SERVICES
SUCH AS STORAGE AND COMPUTATIONAL…BUT LACKS IN PROVIDING SECURE ENVIRONMENT FOR USERS DATA.EXAMPLE FACEBOOK, TWITTER, ORKUT ETC….
LITERATURE REVIEW:-
1>THE CASE FOR CLOUD COMPUTING. Robert L.Grossman
University of Illinois atChicago and Open Data Group
2> TOWARDS TRUSTED CLOUD COMPUTING. Nuno Santos
Krishna P. Gummadi
Rodrigo Rodrigues
THE FIRST PAPER DESCRIBES ABOUT MERITS OF CLOUD COMPUTING SUCH AS IT”S SIMPLICITY, LOW PRICE AS PEOPLE PAY FOR SERVICES THEY USE, ELASTICITY AND
USAGE BASED PRICING.
IT DESCRIBES ABOUT ITS LAYERED SERVICES SUCH AS DATA MANAGEMENT, STORAGE SERVICES & COMPUTATIONAL SERVICES.
THE SECOND PAPER STATES THAT CLIENTS OF CLOUD COMPUTING CURRENTLY HAVE NO MEANS OF VERIFYING THE CONFIDENTIALITY AND INTEGRITY OF THEIR DATA AND COMPUTATION…
IT PURPOSES THE DESIGN OF TRUSTED CLOUD COMPUTING PLATFORM (TCCP).
TCCP ENABLES INFRASTRUCTURE AS SERVICE(IAAS)PROVIDERS SUCH AS AMAZON EC2 TO PROVIDE CLOSED BOX EXECUTION ENVIRONMENT THAT GUARANTEES CONFIDENTIAL EXECUTION OF GUEST VIRTUAL MACHINES.MOREOVER IT ALLOWS USER TO DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT THE SERVICE IS SECURE BEFORE THEY LAUNCH THEIR VIRTUAL MACHINES.
CONCLUSION:-
ACCORDING TO MY VIEWS AS CLOUD COMPUTING BECOMES PREVELANT, WE HAVE BECOME MORE CENTRALIZED TOWARDS THE CLOUDS.WE HAVE FORGOTTEN THAT SENSITIVE DATA NEEDS TO BE ENCRYPTED AND SECURED THROUGH SEQUENTIAL SECURITY ROUTINES AND PROPER CHANNELIZATION OF DATA SOURCES.
FURTHER WE NEED TO DEVELOP A SECURE ENVIRONMENT THAT
GUARANTEES CONFIDENTIAL EXECUTION AND INTEGRITY OF THE USER DATA AND COMPUTATION…
FOR THIS MY SUGGESTION WOULD BE SEPARATE TRAFFIC FOR SECURE DATA.

VIKTOR MAYER,ARGUES THAT IN OUR QUEST FOR PERFECT DIGITAL MEMORIES WHERE WE CAN STORE EVERYTHING FROM RECIPES AND FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHS TO WORK EMAILS AND PERSONAL INFORMATION,WE HAVE PUT OURSELVES IN DANGER OF LOSING A VERY HUMAN QUALITY-THE ABILITY AND PRIVELEDGE OF FORGETTING.
DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY EMPOWERS US AS NEVER BEFORE,YET IT HAS UNFORSEEN CONSEQUENCES AS WELL:-
POTENTIALLY HUMILATING CONTENT ON FACEBOOK IS ENSHRINED IN CYBERSPACE FOR FUTURE EMPLOYERS TO SEE.
GOOGLE REMEMBERS EVERYTHING WE HAVE SEARCHED FOR AND WHEN?
DIGITAL REMEMBERIGN : Because of digital remembering a newly qualified teacher failing to get a job on account of the picture of her on a social networking site, the psychotherapist reufused entry to the USA because of a journal artical, published serveral years ago, in which he mentions having taken a drug. examples of how society is now able to remember facts about your life that you have forgetten yourself. This the problem of perfect memory and history of forgetting humankinds battle against it .
THE DIGITAL REALM REMEMBERS WHAT IS SOMETIMES BETTER FORGOTTEN,AND THIS HAS PROFOUND IMPLICATIONS FOR US ALL.
IN DELETE;-THE AUTHOR DESCRIBES THE DANGER OF EVERLASTING DIGITAL MEMORY,WHETHER IT”S OUTDATED INFORMATION TAKEN OUT OF CONTEXT OR COMPLIMENTARY WEB PHOTOS THE WEB WON”T LET US FORGET.
HE EXPLAINS WHY INFORMATION RIGHTS AND OTHER FIXES CAN”T HELP US, AND PURPOSES AN INDIGENIOUS SOLUTION :-
HE EXPLAINS WHY INFORMATION PRIVACY RIGHTS AND OTHER FIXES CAN”T HELP US , AND PURPOSES AN INDEGINIOUSLY SIMPLE SOLUTION:-
EXPIRATION DATES ON INFORMATION:-THAT MAY BE-
IN MY VIEW THE AUTHOR HAS RAISED AN IMPORTANT QUESTION THAT HAS TO BE ANSWERED AND EXPIRATION DATES MUST BE INTRODUCED TO EACH AND EVERY BITS OF INFORMATION DEPENDING ON THE CONTENT AS SOMETIMES IT IS USEFUL FOR FIGHTING TERRORISM.
STRICT SECURITY RULES MUST BE FORCED BY THE GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS FOR THE USER WHO WANTS TO ACCESS THE FILES.IT”S AN EYE OPENING BOOK THAT WILL HELP US REMEMBER HOW TO FORGET IN DIGITAL AGE.
