With the rapid advancements in the field of Internet of Things (IoT), numerous Information Technology (IT) based services and applications are being developed to provide convenience to users. Adoption of Cloud Computing will enable the pervasive computing based application scenarios an important part of the future Internet. In this paper, we propose a framework which involves the use of smart cards by the users to access the Cloud based services and data in a distributed IoT environment. Identity based access control mechanism is used to ensure secure access of the services and data by authenticated users. Furthermore, informal security and functional analysis of the framework are presented.
