A Comparative Survey of Cloud Identity Management-Models

摘要

Secure identification and authentication are essential processes for protecting access to services or applications. These processes are also crucial in new areas of application such as the cloud computing domain. Over the past years, several cloud identity management-models for managing identification and authentication in the cloud domain have emerged. In this paper, we survey existing cloud identity management-models and compare and evaluate them based on selected criteria, e.g., on practicability or privacy aspects.
