Background/Objectives: Cloud computing has been emerging technology in recent years. But security is the main concern for the user not to accepting the cloud computing systems. Among them lack of trust and multi tenancy are the major issues, altogether comes under authentication problem Methods/Statistical Analysis: These problems are mainly in third party management model and self managed models as well. In order to overcome such tribulations Biometric is the major concern. Even in biometric research group is very much concentrating on security of biometric templates. For the security of biometric template, The two encryption algorithms such as AES, RSA have been imposed on templates. Findings: The biometric template will be safe in transit and storage as well in both cloud consumer and cloud provider side to improve the reliability of cloud. Applications/Improvements: If such approach has been adopted then confidence regarding the usage of cloud will be greater than before.

Abstract


Background/Objectives: Cloud computing has been emerging technology in recent years. But security is the main concern for the user not to accepting the cloud computing systems. Among them lack of trust and multi tenancy are the major issues, altogether comes under authentication problem Methods/Statistical Analysis: These problems are mainly in third party management model and self managed models as well. In order to overcome such tribulations Biometric is the major concern. Even in biometric research group is very much concentrating on security of biometric templates. For the security of biometric template, The two encryption algorithms such as AES, RSA have been imposed on templates. Findings: The biometric template will be safe in transit and storage as well in both cloud consumer and cloud provider side to improve the reliability of cloud. Applications/Improvements: If such approach has been adopted then confidence regarding the usage of cloud will be greater than before.
