Thesis Title: SecC: AUTHENTICATION AND ACCESS CONTROL MECHANISM FOR SECURE CLOUD NETWORKS AND SERVICES
Supervisor: Dr. Kamta Nath Mishra
Abstract: Nowadays cloud computing is gaining more and more popularity for its vast characteristics which is divided into its common characteristics and essential characteristics. The common characteristics are massive scale, homogeneity, virtualization, low cost software, resilient computing, geographic computation, service orientation and advanced security. The essential characteristics are on demand self-service, broad network access, resource pooling, rapid elasticity and measured service. Cloud Computing is the internet based computing where the application software, infrastructure and platform are available in the cloud and the end users (businessman, developers) can access it through, as a client. Cloud is a step on from Utility Computing. Owing to increase in use of these services by companies, several security issues have emerged and this challenges cloud computing system to secure, protect and
process the data which is the property of user. Therefore to prevent the security threats we must develop authenticated protocols.
In this thesis we are investigating and doing critical analysis of CCMP (Counter with Cipher Block Message Authentication Code Protocol) which we have used in the Secure Cloud mechanism (SecC) for cloud data management in-order to improve the security issues in cloud networking. CCMP is a two cycle Authenticated Encryption (AE) mode. One cycle is used to perform confidentiality computations, and the second cycle is used to compute authenticity and integrity. Both cycles use the same encryption key. As we already know that CCM/CCMP is an amalgamation of two modes, the AES Counter Mode and the Cipher Block Chain MAC (CBC-MAC) mode. The Counter mode is used to perform encryption to guarantee data confidentiality. CBC-MAC is used to achieve da ta authenticity and integrity.
