Manu A R, V K Agrawal, K N Balasubramanya Murthy . A User Identification Technique to Access Big Data using Cloud Services. International Journal of Computer Applications. 91, 1 ( April 2014), 19-30. DOI=10.5120/15846-4730
Authentication is required in stored database systems so that only authorized users can access the data and related cloud infrastructures. This paper proposes an `authentication technique using multi-factor and multi-dimensional authentication system with multi-level security. The proposed technique is likely to be more robust as the probability of breaking the password is extremely low. This framework uses a multi-modal biometric approach and SMS to enforce additional security measures with the conventional Login/password system. The robustness of the technique is demonstrated mathematically using a statistical analysis. This work presents the authentication system using the consumer authentication architecture diagrams, activity diagrams, data flow diagrams, sequence diagrams, and algorithms.
