Abstract: The advances in web-based technologies is changing the way we work and interact. These changes are also stirring the approach government interacts and associates with citizens, businesses, employees and keeping affliations with other local or federal governments. Governments have strained and still incessantly pondering on the methodologies to improve these interactions and deploy services (called e-services), though, faced numerous challenges in developing and implementing web-based technologies. Apart, these technologies were expensive in terms of labor cost and consumes enormous capital investments. Advent of cloud computing helped the governments sought the issues, as usage of cloud computing reduces IT labor cost by 50% and improves capital utilization by 75%. Even after spotting the benefts of using and deploying services in cloud, governments have been slower in appreciating the profts of cloud computing. The main causes for this cynical approach are security and data protection. The paper conducts the risk valuation for employing e-services in cloud computing architecture and ascertains the types of risks allied. The study will assist as guideline for government departments to implement e-services on cloud models. Keywords: Cloud computing risks, e-Governance Infrastructure, Slave data center, Master data center I. IntroductIon E-governance is a process of enhancement in the mode governments offer e-services which can be automated and linked to various other entities. Connecting these applications aids government in decision making and policy administration. Fig. 1 below illustrates the offering of e-services to four different types of entities, namely businesses, citizens, employees, and government itself [1].

Fig. 1: E-Governance Applications The comprehensive classifcation of e-governance implemented on cloud are exemplifed in Table 1 below: table I: types of e-Governance Types of e-Governance Explanation G2B (Government to Business) Interactions between Government and Businesses [2]. Some of the examples includes: issuance and renewal of trade licenses, payment of taxes etc. G2C (Government to Citizen) Interaction between Government and Citizen [3]. Some of the examples includes: Renewing of driving license, payment of traffc fnes, renewal of house contract etc. G2E (Government to Employee) Refers to relationship between e-government and its employees [4]. Examples include: Giving access to employees to perform e-services. G2G (Government to Government) This comprises of providing the services, sharing databases and resources between different government departments and agencies [5] Journal of Network and Information Security Volume 5 Issue 2 2017 ISSN.: 2321-6859
