Azlinda Abdul Aziz, Salyani Osman · 2015
Cloud computing is the internet base models that enables cost reduction, on demand, scalability, flexibility, pay per uses access to pool of sharing resources. Cloud Computing enables to share the software, data, hardware and storage. Beside the advantages, many new issues have occurred in Cloud Computing and the main issues is the problem concerning to the access control. Cloud access control is a policy defined as a cloud security requirement that specific how the users may access specific resources. In access control, there are several rules must be followed before the users can access any kind of data or resources from the cloud computer. There are many existing access control models in cloud environment. This study aims to develop an access control model and techniques for higher learning institution. The objectives of the study are to design an access control model, apply the model in higher learning institution domain and evaluate it for model validation purposes. On literature reviews, the function of several types of access control models, their advantages and limitations of the models are discussed.
