A Secure Two-Way Verification based Authentication Scheme with user Anonymity for Cloud Networks

Abstract

The cloud computing along with massive storage and privacy based services are upcoming technique.The information and communication technology connected with various handhold devices through Internet for performing thedata sharing between public networks with large size of users. The internet enabled devices are becoming more sophisticated applications for users in cloud computing environment. An important progression in today’s cloud computing technology is the facility to connect both private and public networks for maintaining large resource or for handling large size of information. Integration of remote devices and cloud environmentbrings inclusiveusage for real-time application in many commercial products. The security alarms such as authentication and information confidentiality of these clouds computing environment plays an imperative role in successful integration of authentication and access controls. In this paper, we proposed a two-way authentication protocol using Discrete Logarithm. The proposed scheme satisfies all basic security requirements and provides mutual authentication. In this scheme, every new session a new session key will be produced for further communication. The detailed analysis of security for the proposed scheme demonstrates that it is withstand against various attacks.
