REVIEW ON COMBINING BIOMETRIC AND BEHAVIORAL AUTHENTICATION TECHNIQUES FOR SECURE MOBILE CLOUD COMPUTING

Abstract

Cloud computing is one of the widely used technology and its use is increasing day by day due to its sharing of services over the internet. The area of concern is its security and privacy issues especially for the smart-phone users. Several security approaches had been introduced to safeguard users from unauthorized access but the security standard with the smart-phone devices are still not up to the mark and uses the typical username and passwords based authentication techniques. This paper is proposing a hybrid authentication approach combining two security modalities i.e. biometric and behavioral keystroke dynamics based user authentication which is designed to provide authentication with the existing username and password along with the biometric and behavioral keystroke dynamics based authentication with the use of biometric fingerprint scanner and keyboard thereby reducing the high cost of additional hardware devices since both are the integral part of the smart-phones these days. This approach will provide a secure access to the smart-phone users for a secure cloud environment efficiently than the existing methods.
