Toward Single Sign-on Establishment for Inter-Cloud Environment

Abstract

This paper investigates a mechanism that establishes single sign-on for inter-cloud computing environment built as the optimized result of the needs of users. Arranging requirements and issues for the mechanism, a single sign-on system for an inter-cloud computing environment is presented. As concrete service in the inter-cloud environment, we deal with Amazon Web Service with SAML version 2.0 and implement a prototype system. We also evaluate the prototype implementation and consider applicability to the other services.
