Biometric Authentication in Cloud

Abstract

Cloud computing is used to store information and supply computing services and resources to humans available all over the internet. Huge amount of data is being saved in data centers, which could therefore create chance for records leakage and get a right of entry to develop illegitimate customers. Authentication of users therefore helps to make sure and confirm a person’s identification earlier than granting him/her get admission into cloud Storage system. The main goal of this method is to authenticate at client-side server, server side, or as third party, and the use of special techniques to maintain the information in a relaxed and secure way. We present a overview on the exceptional authentication mechanisms used in cloud. Our Main focus is on providing biometric authentication for cloud-based structures. In addition, we develop awareness on physical and behavioral based biometric authentication techniques and offer a comparative analysis as which method is better in each instance and thereby provides a better authentication mechanism for cloud.
