SECURE PASSWORD-BASED AUTHENTICATION FOR CLOUD COMPUTING SERVICES

摘要

The present invention relates generally to cloud computing, and more particularly, to secure password-based authentication for cloud computing resource access. A request for cloud computing resource access includes a derivative password that contains a parameter that the recipient may extract in order to independently calculate the derivative password based on the parameter and a stored password which may then be verified against a known-to-be-correct password. Other systems and methods are disclosed.
