摘要：Communication in a huge network such as in cloud infrastructure is vast in demand. Almost all classified information transferred via the communication channel. Most types of attack can cause the classified information be in the hand of unauthorized party. This situation will lead to information disclosure and the user feel unsecured for using the services like offered by cloud infrastructure. Besides, we look into authentication as a primary concern; we also pay attention to the secure communication channel. We believe, with a secure communication channel additional with a secure authentication we may reduce the possibility of attack that may lead to information disclosure. This paper summarizing the issue and challenge facing in cloud authentication mechanism. We also review existing technique of authentication mechanism for cloud network and discuss important issues in this field such threat and insecure scheme, whereby the root of these kinds of issue originates from the weak-ness of the authentication mechanism on the security channel being using. After all, we found the implementation of quantum key distribution scheme in an enormous network such as cloud infrastructure may resolve the issue interception of unauthorized party in the network. A study investigating how the use of quantum key distribution key, can guarantee that the message has not been modified or replaced by a dishonest party with control of the communication line.
