Abstract

Cloud computing is a new trend of computing paradigm that provides a set of scalable resources on demand. However, it also being a target of cyber attacks and creates risk for data privacy and protection. An Identity Management System (IDM) supports the management of multiple digital identities for authentication and authorization. This paper reviews various identity management frameworks that help making Cloud environment more secure.
