Chirag Langaliya, Rajanikanth Aluvalu . Enhancing Cloud Security through Access Control Models: A Survey. International Journal of Computer Applications. 112, 7 ( February 2015), 8-12. DOI=10.5120/19677-1400
Cloud computing is a new computing paradigm in which an application can run on connected Cloud Server instead of local server. Cloud computing provides efficient data storage, resource sharing and services in a distributed manner with great ease. However Cloud computing is having issues like security and privacy of data when sensitive data is stored under third party cloud service providers. Various access control models have been proposed to resolve the security issue in cloud computing. So in this paper we have discussed various access control models starting from the traditionally DAC (Discretionary Access Control), MAC (Mandatory Access Control), RBAC (Role Based Access Control) and ABAC (Attribute Based Access Control) to the latest ABE (Attribute Based Encryption) models like CP-ABE (Ciphertext Policy - Attribute Based Encryption), KP-ABE (Key Policy Attribute Based Encryption), HABE (Hierarchical Attribute Based Encryption) and HASBE (Hierarchical Attribute - Set Base Encryption).
