Password Based Client-Server-User Authenticated Key Agreement Mechanism for Cloud System

Abstract

The authentication is an essential concern in the cloud environment to restrict the unauthorized users to retrieve the files from cloud server. Moreover, authentication mechanisms are used to prevent illegal access of resources over insecure channel. Thus proposed work provides the strong and efficient authentication process in cloud computing environment by chebyshev polynomial based chaotic maps Diffie Hellman property. The proposed authentication mechanism does not disclose the identity of the user to CSP. Moreover proposed authentication mechanism enables mutual authentication, Identity management, and session-key agreement. The Proposed mechanism of security analysis includes the enabling mutual authentication and key agreement, restricting the impersonation attack, man in the middle attack and replay attack.
