Authentication mechanisms for preventing cyber crime and providing security in cloud

Abstract

Cloud computing has made life easier for user and business. The “cloud” is a server where data, applications and software are stored and can be accessed from any device as long as we have internet connection. Nowadays, security is the main issue in the cloud computing environment because cyber crime is increasing abruptly. The main motive of this paper is to reduce the cyber crime in cloud computing. Cyber crime is the phenomenon which interrupts the privacy and security for data storage, to overcome this cyber security is introduced. Cyber security is protection from unauthorized access that aimed to exploitation from attackers which destroys information system. The inference of this paper is to focus on authentication mechanisms for providing security and preventing cyber crime activities in the cloud.
