Abstract:
Cloud Computing is a fast-growing technology, which can do everything from running applications to storing data off-site. It means a person can save his work around the globe, retrieve, update, delete and use the data/information stored in the cloud from anywhere in the world at any time. The popularity of cloud in the business world has resulted in its data centers growing at an unprecedented rate. While there are so many benefits, there are always risks involved with sharing resources, which leads to privacy and security concerns. Therefore, usage of Cloud Computing is still not at par with businesses particularly; businesses who have critical data that they cannot afford to lose or have stolen. This paper investigates issues and challenges related to the authentication security of cloud computing. Further, in this paper, a new solution is proposed to enhance user authentication in Cloud Computing using biometrics with multifactor authentication techniques.
