John Villasenor, Addressing Export Control in the Age of Cloud Computing (July 25, 2011) (full-text).

Overview[]

The report discusses the inherent tension between existing export control laws and cloud computing.

If cloud computing is to reach its full potential, it is critical for providers and users of cloud services to address its implications with respect to export control. It is equally important to adapt the export control regulations to reflect the increasing prevalence of cloud computing in a manner that preserves the ability of American companies to benefit from the efficiencies of the cloud while also ensuring that American national security and foreign policy interests are adequately protected.
