Abstract
User's data is considered as a vital asset of several organizations. Migrating data to the cloud computing is not an easy decision for any organization due to the privacy and security concerns. Service providers must ensure that both data and applications that will be stored on the cloud should be protected in a secure environment. The data stored on the public cloud will be vulnerable to outside and inside attacks. This paper provides interactive multi-layer authentication frameworks for securing user identities on the cloud. Different access control policies are applied for verifying users on the cloud. A security mechanism is applied to the cloud application that includes user registration, granting user privileges, and generating user authentication factor. An intrusion detection system is embedded to the security mechanism to detect malicious users. The multi factor authentication, intrusion detection, and access control techniques can be used for ensuring the identity of the user. Finally, encryption techniques are used for protecting the data from being disclosed. Experimental results are carried out to verify the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed frameworks and mechanism. The results recorded high detection rate with low false positive alarms.
Highlights
Cloud computing is considered as one of the recent technologies in the evolution of the Internet.The cloud computing provides several services including computing power, servers, storage systems, applications, networks, and services
A dataset was applied as presented in Tab. 2 to evaluate the efficiency of the proposed access procedures which consists of access roles, multi-level authentication with the cooperation of intrusion detection and the additional authentication process (AUTHADD) was added to enhance the efficiency
The efficiency of the proposed access procedures is determined by measuring the overall Detection rate (DR), False Negative (FN) alarm rate and False Positive (FP) alarm rates
Summary
Cloud computing is considered as one of the recent technologies in the evolution of the Internet. The cloud computing provides several services including computing power, servers, storage systems, applications, networks, and services. The cloud computing is considered as an advanced option over traditional methods regarding space, time, cost, and power. Three primary service models are applied on cloud computing to provide different levels of services to the users. These models are: platform as a service (PaaS), infrastructure as a service (IaaS) and software as a Service (SaaS). Each service model provides different layers of services such as databases, programming frameworks, operating systems, computing systems, networks, applications, and computing systems where the IaaS has the highest
