A Privacy-Aware Authentication Scheme for Distributed Mobile Cloud Computing Services

Abstract— A Privacy-Aware Authentication Scheme for Distributed Mobile Cloud Computing Services. In modern societies, the number of mobile users has dramatically risen in recent years. In this paper, an efficient authentication scheme for distributed mobile cloud computing services is proposed. The proposed scheme provides security and convenience for mobile users to access multiple mobile cloud computing services from multiple service providers using only a single private key. The security strength of the proposed scheme is based on bilinear pairing cryptosystem and dynamic nonce generation. In addition, the scheme supports mutual authentication, key exchange, user anonymity, and user un traceability. From system implementation point of view, verification tables are not required for the trusted smart card generator < Final Year Projects 2016 > SCG service and cloud computing service providers when adopting the proposed scheme. In consequence, this scheme reduces the usage of memory spaces on these corresponding service providers.
