Abstract: Cloud manufacturing has recently become a hot research topic in the manufacturing industry. One of the key bottlenecks that hinders the development and application of cloud manufacturing is security. As the adoption and use of manufacturing cloud depends on its security mechanism to a large extent, we propose a new resource security method to enhance the security of cloud manufacturing services by providing resources exclusive access to cloud virtual machine and restricting cloud access from unauthorized users. To enable authorized users in the right location, right time and right network to access resources, a GeoAuthentication model that maps geographic location, access time, and subnetwork information into a secret key is proposed. We also propose conflict firewall in manufacturing cloud to separate users with conflict of interest.
