Cloud computing is considered as a rising model that becomes a necessity to accommodate the rapid growth in the use of technology.Cloud computing provides a wide diversity of facilities and services for the users without the need for having expensive computing devices and equipment.A cloud user can utilize remote software, processors, storage without owning them.However, remote access adds more difficulties and problems to cloud users, such as security.Authentication is one of the main security challenges where cloud servers and users need to identify and validate each other to complete the communication process and provide the service.In this study, we mention well-known authentication attacks and we include a number of studies that investigated each attack.
