Don’t do it! I guarantee that this cloud will be compromised, leaking our nuke secrets all over the place.
A more stupid place to hold such information I could not imagine, short of Hillary’s server.
The cloud is just Other People’s Servers. Yep, it’s secure. Haha ha ha ha
And it won't even have to be "hacked". Chinese nationals with H-1B visas will be hired to implement it. Bet on it.
We are run by complete dumbasses who will eventually get us nuked.
the 9/10ths rule of possession applies to data also
I used to work at mci during the mci mail days. I think it could be done, but there could be no connection to the outside world, ever, for nothing and anything. It’s just storage +servers and firewalls and a way to access it.
Imho the big brass sees these opportunities to top off their retirement funds and to land cushy defense contractor jobs after they retire out of the military.
BAD BAD BAD ................. POLITICAL CORRECTNESS IS THE BANE OF “””NEED TO KNOW””” AND THE SECURITY OF CLASSIFIED CNWDI WITHIN THE DOE/NNSA AND THE DOD !!
WHY AM I YELLING .........
That data needs to stay air gap isolated from the entire intranet . DOOM on the SOB’s that allow this ....... DAMN !!!
Well now you got that off your chest...feel better?
Just despise the ignorance of those who fail to see the potential for disaster regarding the easy access to such information ......
It would only work on a propriety system that is not connected to the world.
Most billionaires make their money through government contracts. There is no doubt that this is what it is.
yep
Gawd, what a pack of fools.
Winchester disc packs most likely. Or maybe paper tape.
Seeing as how the internet started from ARPANET part of the DoD. Then TCP/IP allowed it to be Networked so that the National Science Foundation was connected with universities and the National Laboratories, such as Lawrence Livermore, Oak Ridge, Lawrence Berkeley and Los Alamos.
Any so called secure cloud would have to have firewall connectivity to all of these locations and more. They would need fiber optic switching to every location and therefore would be impossible to keep secure.
If you have an unbreakable encryption method, you can put your top secret files anywhere and let anyone see them.
If you don’t, they should never touch the net.
IOW, there’s no need for a special secure site.
Thanks.
Any possible physical line connections or access points would allow taps. Any taps would allow signals on each line to be analyzed for patterns (or signal volume and other assessments for decryption attempts). All methods of physical connections would need to be made impossible.
The only way to satisfactorily secure such a network would be to keep all lines and nodes of it physically secured (sleeved) against drilling, cutting, burning, etc. (vault-like security around all lines). The whole net would need to be within one very secure building with very cleared and secured personnel.
There are always risks. In the past, we said that a computer buried in the ground and physically unconnected to anything else could still be cracked.
Also, there’s always a way to easily connect some kind of radio to a node in a closed network (intranet) within one closed building. After that, a signal can get out through a blocking grid in many probably unexpected ways (antennas, of course, closed windows, power lines, doors, vents, structural reinforcement with coil/capacitor, ad virtually infinitum).
Even keeping it all in hard copy in a vault would be a greater security challenge now with the possible human body modifications. How small could a capable enough CMOS sensor be made now (for a camera concealed under the skin or other body part)?
