Credential Based Authentication Approach for Dynamic Group in Cloud Environment

Solutions provided by Cloud computing not only includes the issues inherited from related technologies such as virtualization and distributed computing, but also new concerns associated to complexity of the cloud ecosystem composed by the cloud entities and their interactions. Authentication plays an important aspect in Cloud computing. This proposed system concentrates on authentication with reasonable time factor and reduce data traffic in the Cloud computing process. In addition, this system also identifies and analysis the credential management that focus on the cloud ecosystem for dynamic groups. Moreover a framework for credential classification that analyses the unifying concept and its related service is proposed and implemented. This proposed system proves to be more efficient when compare to other existing technology. (C) 2015 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.
