Abstract:
Cloud Computing is defined by flexibility, agility, scalability, reliability – all these being provided using the concept of computing as a utility. Beside all its big advantages, the adoption of the cloud still has a limited number of adherences because it also can expose the consumer to a lot of risks and vulnerabilities, which sometimes are heavier than the benefits themselves. Providing a cloud identity is a key component of a cloud successful story because in such architecture aspects like the request context, sensitive data usage and end-user service availability make the difference between a legitimate and an un-legitimate request. By using several systems that provide only parts of the cloud identity, we ensured that the end user cannot alter his access to cloud application and that the cloud application only manipulate allowed personal data.
