Amazon EC2 - S3 Questions

[raffi at flossyourmind.com (Raffi Jamgotchian)]

S3 security model is really good. I use it just for backup. They  
encrypt it with one key and you can do whatever you want. So I use  
JumpDisk and encrypt it before it leaves my computer.

I wonder how they secure the underlying virtualization layer for the  
computing side. I have to do some more reading...

Merry Christmas to everyone on the list!
