CLOUD SECURITY :ENCRYPTION AND AUTHENTICATION MECHANISM FOR CLOUD COMPUTING SECURITY

Abstract

Cloud computing has emerged as a promising technique that greatly changes the modern Information Technology industry, it depends on sharing resources that were never shared before, demanding a new set of security challenges. There are a variety of information security risks that need to be carefully considered, Risks will vary depending on the sensitivity of the data to be stored or processed. In this research a proposed method to solve some problems of cloud computing security was introduced form both perspectives client and provider by using encryption technique and EAP-CHAP. The proposed method was implemented using encryption and authentication technique build inside EAP-CHAP protocol. The implementation using Visual Basic.Net and SQL Server, to simulate the registration and accessing methods. The proposal is subjected to analysis and optimum result in term of security are obtained.
