Abstract

Nowadays users outsourcing their data to cloud provider, the most challenge on research works in cloud computing are access control and data security. Security problems come from the different kinds of cloud services for internet users provided by companies. Currently the majority of cloud computing systems provide digital identity for user to access their services, this will bring some inconvenience for hybrid cloud that include private clouds and, or public clouds. Recently identity based cryptography and Hierarchal identity based cryptography have been proposed to solve the internet applications threads. This paper based on using identity management on hybrid cloud, each user and server will have its own trusted unique identity, the unique key distribution and mutual authentication can be greatly simplified.
