Identity-as-a-Service (IDaaS) is one of the most famous fruitful authentication services for cloud deployment to the Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model. It is a third party approach for identity management, including creation, authentication, and privacy assurance. In this paper, the Virtual Identity ($V_{ID}$), as a new realization for IDaaS terminology which can be used in virtual environments, is proposed to improve the user privacy and to provide the anonymous Single sign-on (SSO) in such types of distributed environments. Actually, two$V_{ID}$frameworks based on the Identity-Based Encryption (IBE) and Pseudonym-Based Encryption (PBE) approaches are proposed and then implemented using$MIRACL$library. The$V_{ID}$approaches performance is evaluated analytically by implementing a mathematical model based on$BCMP$(Baskett Chandy Muntz Palacios) queuing model. In addition, a simulation-based evaluation using$OPNET$Modeler is introduced to compare the analytical-based$BCMP$queuing model against the$OPNET$simulation results. Moreover, the proposed approaches are compared against state-of-the-art work.
