Abstract:
In this paper, we introduce a user authentication methodology for a cloud-based U-City management system to manage the U-City which includes ubiquitous resources and cloud computing resources. Cloud computing enables the integrated urban operation center of the U-City to provide limitless computing power without having its own computing center. However, because huge number of services and users use the U-City service and the cloud computing power and they should be carefully screened, we need a specially designed security management to protect the U-City and its facilities. For it, we propose the cloud-based U-City management system, UTOPIA which uses SAML-based Single-Sign-On (SSO) authentication for the security management to do user authentication and privilege management for the cloud computing in the U-City.
