Secure Access Control Schemes for Cloud-Based Networks

This abstract provides a state-of-the-art review of secure access control schemes for cloud networks. The rise of cloud computing and the security of the cloud have increased the need for robust access control for securing data and resources. In this paper, role-based, attribute-based, multi-factor authentication access control methods and their strengths and weaknesses are addressed. It goes further to tackle some of the challenges of using these schemes in a cloud environment and offers solutions for the same. Following that, it will focus on what the research means for future directions in this field, in terms of the security of cloud networks & beyond.
