M Varaprasad Rao, G Vishnu Murthy

Abstract: The Cloud Computing is a service, based on Internetwork technology. The customers can do data transfer and resource sharing among number of services provided in cloud computing. Any service is easily accessed by a customer from anywhere and anytime in cloud thru Internetworking, therefore it has two good properties called availability and QoS. It has its pros and cons for the customers to create and store the information in cloud server. The application and data management software tools are not that much trustworthiness, then it implies on security aspects of QoS and availability in cloud. Thus we proposed a method for improving security in cloud data storage using Kerberos algorithm and HMAC Public Key Infrastructure

Keywords: Cloud Computing, Third Party, Cloud Security, Kerberos algorithm, HMAC, Cloud Provider
