Abstract

We propose a new decentralized access control scheme for protected data storage in clouds that affirms anonymous authentication. In this paper, the cloud verifies the authenticity without knowing the user’s identity before storing data. Our paper has the added feature of access control in which only validated users are able to decrypt the stored information. Here we also forbid replay attacks and supports creation, modification, and reading of information stored in the cloud. We also cover user revocation and here the authentication and access control scheme is decentralized and robust, unlike other access control schemes designed for clouds which are centralized.
