The Security Enhancement for Privacy-Aware Access Control System on Private Cloud (PAAC)

Abstract

Cloud is a relatively new concept and so it is unsurprising that the information assurance, data protection, network security and privacy concerns have yet to be fully addressed. The cloud allows users to avoid upfront hardware and software investments, gain flexibility, collaborate with others, and take advantage of the sophisticated services. However, security is a huge issue for cloud users especially access control, user profile management and accessing. Therefore, this paper proposes a cloud control, privacy and access for the cloud user who are involved in the academic institution cloud system. This system intends to reduce the risk such as stealing and misuse of the private personal data. The main ideas of this system (in term of security and privacy) are to minimize the confidential information of cloud users, to maximize the access control and to specify and optimize the data usage.
