Enhancing Cloud and IoT Security

Abstract

As the world becomes increasingly reliant on cloud computing and the internet of things (IoT), ensuring the security of sensitive data and access to cloud resources is paramount. This chapter focuses on innovative approaches to user authentication within the context of “security frameworks for cloud and IoT systems.” The proposed chapter discusses how IoT technology can be harnessed to develop a robust, multi-factor authentication system tailored to manage cloud computing interfaces. The chapter explores the vulnerabilities of traditional single-factor authentication methods, emphasizing the critical need for enhanced security measures. It highlights the integration of biometric authentication, secure communication protocols, and the use of IoT devices for secure user authentication. The chapter also covers topics like behavioral analytics, user-friendly interfaces, and compliance with data privacy regulations to create a comprehensive approach to enhancing security in cloud and IoT environments.
