Secure Use of Cloud Storage

Cloud storage systems like Microsoft's Windows Azure Storage and Amazon's Simple Storage Service allow web sites and services to cheaply store large amounts of data and make it available in a controlled manner. However, as with traditional methods of data storage and retrieval (such as SQL-based relational databases), application authors must take care to use cloud storage systems correctly to avoid unauthorized data access or tampering. This presentation will cover a variety of attacks on applications using cloud storage, such as enumeration and REST/SOAP injection, to show how the same effects as a SQL injection attack may be realized on an application using a cloud storage system, as well as how developers can protect themselves from these attacks.
