A novel attribute based access control model with application in IaaS cloud

Abstract

Cloud computing is viewed as one of the most dominant ideal models in the Information Technology industry nowadays. It offers new savvy administrations on-request like Software as a Service, Infrastructure as a Service, and Platform as a Service. Nonetheless, with these administrations promising offices and advantages, there are yet various difficulties related to using cloud computing, for example, data security, maltreatment of cloud administrations, malicious insiders, and cyber-attacks.
