Approach of Secure Authentication System for Hybrid Cloud Service

Abstract: We introduce the term usable security to refer to security systems, models, mechanisms and applications that have as the main goal usability. Secure systems cannot exist without secure authentication methods. Thus we outline biometric authentication methods and we focus on iris recognition because is the most reliable and accurate method for human identification]. The most important advantage of iris biometric over other biometrics is that irises have enormous pattern variability meaning that the variation between individual is almost maximum and variation for any person across time or conditions is minimum. Taking into consideration this observations, this survey covers researches in this field, methods of technical implementation and the usability of this method as an authentication system on iOS environment.

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.

Records Access

State-of-the-art progress in cloud computing encouraged the healthcare organizations to outsource the management of electronic health records to cloud service providers using hybrid cloud. A hybrid cloud is an infrastructure consisting of a private cloud (managed by the organization) and a public cloud (managed by the cloud service provider). The use of hybrid cloud enables electronic health records to be exchanged between medical institutions and supports multipurpose usage of electronic health records. Along with the benefits, cloud-based electronic health records also raise the problems of security and privacy specifically in terms of electronic health records access. A comprehensive and exploratory analysis of privacy-preserving solutions revealed that most current systems do not support fine-grained access control or consider additional factors such as privacy preservation and relationship semantics. In this article, we investigated the need of a privacy-aware fine-grained access control model for the hybrid cloud. We propose a privacy-aware relationship semantics–based XACML access control model that performs hybrid relationship and attribute-based access control using extensible access control markup language. The proposed approach supports fine-grained relation-based access control with state-of-the-art privacy mechanism named Anatomy for enhanced multipurpose electronic health records usage. The proposed (privacy-aware relationship semantics–based XACML access control model) model provides and maintains an efficient privacy versus utility trade-off. We formally verify the proposed model (privacy-aware relationship semantics–based XACML access control model) and implemented to check its effectiveness in terms of privacy-aware electronic health records access and multipurpose utilization. Experimental results show that in the proposed (privacy-aware relationship semantics–based XACML access control model) model, access policies based on relationships and electronic health records anonymization can perform well in terms of access policy response time and space storage.
