Secure Authentication

Cloud computing has become a feasible solution for virtualization of cloud resources. Although it has many prospective to hold individuals by providing many benefits to organizations, still there are security loopholes to outsource data. To ensure the ‘security' of data in cloud computing, quantum key cryptography is introduced. Quantum cryptography makes use of quantum mechanics and qubits. The proposed method made use of quantum key distribution with Kerberos to secure the data on the cloud. The paper discussed the model for quantum key distribution which makes use of Kerberos ticket distribution center for authentication of cloud service providers. The proposed model is compared with quantum key distribution and provides faster computation by producing less error rate.
