Multi-organizational Access Control Model Based on Mobile Agents for Cloud Computing

Abstract

The development of new digital technologies is swiftly rising. Thus, the cloud computing is grabbing-attention of information technology communities. In this context, diverse security issues are amplified. Particularly, access control seems of main importance because it ensures diverse security services, such as, authentication, identification, confidentiality and integrity. Several works are devoted for designing access control models. In this paper, we are particularly interested on distributed access control approaches. According to identified drawbacks of Multi-OrBAC model, we introduce a new distributed access control model for cloud computing based on Mobile Agent.
