Abstract: Cloud computing is a popular network access model for the transparent and ubiquitous sharing of services and computing resources among customers by service providers. In the critical infrastructure domain, cloud computing is used by governments for applications such as revenue collection to improve operations and achieve cost savings. Although cloud computing systems promise convenience, they threaten the privacy of users who transfer their applications to the cloud. In order to prevent illegal access, it is imperative that cloud providers implement secure authentication schemes.
