摘要：Cloud computing is a technology, which provides low cost, scalable computation capacity and a stack of services to enterprises on demand for expansion. The complications caused by data security and privacy are the main hindrances in its acceptance. Threats in Cloud computing can be faced by adopting various security measures. One such security measure is authentication. In recent years a lot of research has been carried out throughout the world and several schemes have been proposed to improve authentication in the Cloud. Keeping in view the importance of authentication in cloud security, a survey of current cloud computing authentication trends has been conducted. On the basis of this critical review, we identify the areas of cloud computing authentication that indeed warrant further investigation.
