Abstract:
Today, cloud computing has become
important research area and more enterprises
are adopting the Cloud based strategy for their
businesses. In this case, user access control is
the primary concern for cloud users and cloud
service providers. User accesses are key factor
in determining how much they have to pay to the
service provider (SP). So, SP needs to deploy
secure access control mechanism in provisioning
the services to the users.
In cloud computing, services are delivered as
web services using SOAP message format. And
to protect service provisioning to unauthorized
users, many security access control mechanisms
have been proposed.
This paper intends to examine how Attribute
Based Encryption mechanism used to control
users’ accesses among cluster based private
cloud and data center private cloud in our
university campus. By using this mechanism,
service providers can ensure that secure services
are delivered only to the authorized users.
