Forward Security Authentication on Data Sharing Cloud Computing

Abstract

Cloud Computing is ceaseless growing latest technology in IT industry, academia and business. The practice of using a network of remote servers hosted on the internet to store, manage, and process data, rather than a local server or a personal computer. Cloud computing is highly accessible, flexible technology that puts hardware, software, and virtualized resources. Cloud computing infrastructure works over the internet on demand basis. Main features of cloud computing is that on-demand capabilities, broad network access, resource pooling, rapid elasticity ,measured service scalability and provides shared services to user on demand basis in distributed environment. Commonly available cloud computing service providers are Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, Amazon etc. The details of cloud services are abstracted from users. The most common issues of cloud computing as efficiency, integrity and authenticity. Moreover, users are unaware of location where machines which actually process and host their data. The motivation of this paper is to propose a secure data accessing and sharing scheme, for public clouds.
