SAML Enabled Single Sign-On (SSO) Multifactor Authentication (MFA) in Cloud Computing

Abstract

From the last few years, the computation has transformed from centralized to distributed to Cloud computing.Organizations adopting the cloud and enhanced benefits like scalability, reliability, cost-effectiveness, and flexibility. With these benefits, various kinds of issues are also creating problems like network attacks and privacy issues. The traditional authentication (password) technique is not enough for the new attacking techniques, so arobust authentication is a topmostconstraint for the cloud that controls the prohibited access. The previous SSO technique is not enough for the current scenario especially in the cloud there we work on heterogeneous environments. For more safety and security use the multi-layer authentication that provides more safety and security but that creates other issues for the users. Users have required remembering lots of passwords for inserting and accessing the services. It's reduced the performance and increase the time duration of the task. SAML is a standard that permits users to access the application in their session. Resolving this issue in this paper design enhanced infrastructure for safe and secure authentication and authorization in Cloud computing, their user validity is strongly verified before accessing the cloud. Using new Multifactor authentication (MFA) and SSO (Single Sign-On) techniques tominimize the number of authentication through login and password in various environments and increase security, efficiency, and usability. Also, understand the security analysis proposed the framework for the cloud and improve efficiency.
