HS-TBAC a highly secured token based access control for outsourced data in cloud

Abstract

Cloud computing is recently developed internet based computing paradigm where ranges of services such as data storage, applications deployment, servers, etc. are delivered over the internet. On the basis of response, cloud allocates the services through internet. The important feature of quality of service in cloud computing is secured way of protecting information over internet. The cloud service provider (CSP) should afford security for the data stored and applications developed over the cloud in terms of Privacy and Access Control. In this paper, we offer an enhanced framework with the advent of Token Generation (TG), Mutual Authentication and Cryptography. We include a secured authentication mechanism among consumer and Registration Authority (RA) in our scheme. Secondly a Token Generator (TG) is utilized for issuing tokens to the consumer for accessing their resources from the cloud depends upon their access privileges.
