Secure access & authentication for collaborative intercloud exchange service

Abstract

Recent advances in information technology make remote collaboration and resource sharing easier for next generation of distributed systems. The Intercloud is an interconnection system of several cloud provider infrastructures that allows the dynamic coordination of the deployment of applications and the distribution of the load across multiple data centers. In this paper, we propose a new design to establish a new generation of secure collaborative cloud services where several companies are patially or fully pooling their resources to optimize their operating costs and increase the availability of their services in a secure way by performing secure access & authentication for collaborative interCloud exchange services.
