Secured cloud authentication using quantum cryptography

Cloud computing have become the budding engine of current information technology (IT) as a result of the rapid development of IT, security protection has become more and more important for cloud computing. The theft of identity authentication in sequence remains a serious hazard to the protection of cloud computing, in this process, attackers infringe into cloud computing services through identity certification information, thereby threatening the security of data from multiple perspectives. Most types of attack can cause the classified information be in the hand of unauthorized party. This situation will lead to data disclosure and the user feel insecure for using the services offered by cloud infrastructure. In this work a novel protocol is proposed to secured cloud authentication using quantum cryptography.
