Design and implementation of Infrastructure as a Service framework with integration of location based authentication

Abstract

The approach of Cloud computing in the area of information technology newlinesatisfies the need of the end users. It is a model in which on demand newlinenetwork access is also provided to the users by using the pool of shared newlineresources (services, applications, storage and networks). All these services newlineare provided to the end users with the minimal interference of service newlineprovider and effort of management. One of the cloud service model in newlinewhich consumers need not to manage and control the hidden cloud newlineinfrastructure but on the other hand has a full control over the displayed newlineapplications is IaaS (Infrastructure as-a-service). All the data, information newlineand accessibility are provided through internet, so security becomes an newlineintegral part. There are many security algorithms and mechanisms available newlinetill today but inherent some of the disadvantages in them. Traditional newlineauthentication based security method helps to achieve the end user s newlineidentity but fails, because user can be manipulated to gain the access of the newlinedata. Location based authentication is one of the method that helps to newlineensure the authenticity of the user. GPS (Global Positioning System) is used newlineto get the geographical location of the users and only those end users are newlineable to use the resources and services that are present in that particular newlinelocation to meet the protocols. Once the location is authenticated AES newline(Advanced Encryption Standard) algorithm is used for secure newlinecommunication for the transference of data is accessed over the internet. newlineThe work aims in providing the methodology in which IaaS framework is newlineimplemented with location based authentication of the user in cloud newlinecomputing. newline
