An Adopted Multi-level Authentication Framework in Cloud Environment
Shaik Mujafar | K. B. V. Rama Narasimham [3]
Abstract: Cloud Computing provides vast types of services by means of internet connectivity. Cloud has been an vast area of research since its inception, one such area is authentication of the user to cloud securely. Authentication is a process of verify the right entity and granting the permission to enter into the system and function. Thus authentication is a crucial part of any system to protect its data integrity and security. So far, the moated trusted forms of authentication are text based passwords. this form of passwords are most likely to fall short of performance due to factors as easy guess, human memory involvement, and with todays era of computation easy computable or breakable due to which many researchers in the past has been argued to provide alternative method of authentication, such as mnemonic password, graphical password, and biometrics. This paper presents the strict authentication system by introducing the multi-level authentication technique which generates/authenticates the password in multiple levels to access the cloud services. In this paper, details of proposed multilevel authentication technique a represented along with the architecture, activities, data flows, algorithms and probability of success in breaking authentication.
