Challenges in Cloud Computing

Introduction

Cloud computing is the delivery of different services through the Internet. It offers a wide

variety of facilities and services to users without requiring them to acquire the computing devices.

A cloud user can efficiently utilize distant software, processors, and storage devices without

buying them. An article by Abusaimeh (2020) reveals that though cloud computing is a model that

offers various benefits to users, including enabling them to access and modifying vendor’s data,

authentication remains one of the critical issues affecting cloud computing. The author offers

research on different safety attacks in cloud computing and the appropriate mechanisms through

which these attacks may be resolved. In so doing, the author investigates some of the renowned

authentication spasms and highlight the studies that have been employed to solve them.

Methodology

In the study, the author explored some of the most notable authentication assaults and

mentioned different studies that have attempted to settle these assaults. A cloud framework is

inclined to numerous verification assaults. The assault’s impact relies upon the degree of

information affectability, what’s more, the amount it is viewed as fundamental. Un-verified access

for ordinary client archives can be irrelevant; getting to medical services information for patients

could moderate danger. Nonetheless, getting to financial details or exceptionally private

information can cause gigantic harm and horrible impact. The author selected various attacks,

including authentication attacks, man-in-the-middle attacks, malware injection attacks, and cross

VM side-channel attacks. The author explored the different mechanisms that have been used to

solve these attacks. Following the exploration, the author established that multidimensional

passwords were used to solve authentication attacks’ attacks. In a man-in-the-middle attack, a
