Hi,
I am working as Linux system administrator now I want to learn cloud computing too. I tried Googling but couldn't find appropriate information so thought to ask people here.
Can somebody suggest me correct path along with tutorials/PDF/HTMLs?
Really appreciate your help.
thx

by Eric Knorr, InfoWorld.comSo many vendors have jumped on the cloud computing bandwagon, the phrase already risks jumping the shark. The problem is that “cloud computing” has two distinctly different meanings: The use of commercial Internet-based services, and the architecture for building and... (0 Replies)

Some cloud computing vendors, such as 3tera and Nirvani, push their own proprietary platforms and tools, which forces adopters to limit their options and work in a restricted or closed architecture. When these established vendors say cloud, they mean their cloud. As a result,... (0 Replies)

pkcs11_kernel - PKCS#11 interface to Kernel Cryptographic Framework
SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/security/pkcs11_kernel.so
/usr/lib/security/64/pkcs11_kernel.so
DESCRIPTION
The pkcs11_kernel.so object implements the RSA PKCS#11 v2.20 specification by using a private interface to communicate with the Kernel
Cryptographic Framework.
Each unique hardware provider is represented by a PKCS#11 slot. In a system with no hardware Kernel Cryptographic Framework providers, this
PKCS#11 library presents no slots.
The PKCS#11 mechanisms provided by this library is determined by the available hardware providers.
Application developers should link to libpkcs11.so rather than link directly to pkcs11_kernel.so. See libpkcs11(3LIB).
All of the Standard PKCS#11 functions listed on libpkcs11(3LIB) are implemented except for the following:
C_DecryptDigestUpdate
C_DecryptVerifyUpdate
C_DigestEncryptUpdate
C_GetOperationState
C_InitToken
C_InitPIN
C_SetOperationState
C_SignEncryptUpdate
C_WaitForSlotEvent
A call to these functions returns CKR_FUNCTION_NOT_SUPPORTED.
Buffers cannot be greater than 2 megabytes. For example, C_Encrypt() can be called with a 2 megabyte buffer of plaintext and a 2 megabyte
buffer for the ciphertext.
The maximum number of object handles that can be returned by a call to C_FindObjects() is 512.
The maximum amount of kernel memory that can be used for crypto operations is limited by the project.max-crypto-memory resource control.
Allocations in the kernel for buffers and session-related structures are charged against this resource control.
RETURN VALUES
The return values of each of the implemented functions are defined and listed in the RSA PKCS#11 v2.20 specification. See http://www.rsase-
curity.com.

NOTES
Applications that have an open session to a PKCS#11 slot make the corresponding hardware provider driver not unloadable. An administrator
must close the applications that have an PKCS#11 session open to the hardware provider to make the driver unloadable.
