Cloud computing facilitates an economic data storage, expertise software, and scalable computing resources through infrastructure, platform, and software (as a service). However, due to the non-transparent and openness of cloud computing, security is the pressing issue that may hamper the adoption and growth of cloud services. Moreover, conventional authentication management solutions are inadequate and cannot be directly adopted in cloud computing environments. Existing schemes have addressed the above issue, and a comprehensive study of the literature helped in formulating the current research. This research intends to develop an effective mutual authentication scheme for reliable cloud service provisioning. The performance is analysed in terms of computational overhead, communication cost, and resistance to various security characteristics.
