Design Access Control Model for the Cloud Computing Environment

Abstract

Recently, cloud computing applications are growing very fast, with the increasing number of organizations that resorting to use or store resources in the Cloud, several challenges have been identified. Security is one of the most challenging aspects of Cloud Computing. Access control offers strong security for data and is considered as a major research area. A good access control model assures a secure cloud environment. This research aims to introduce a user profile based access control model in cloud computing environments and architecture.
