| Abstract: | In the cloud computing, different cloud service providers are often in different trust domains. As the traditional identity authentication mode cannot be applied to the cloud computing, the cross-domain identity authentication mechanism is needed to solve the identity authentication problem in the cloud computing. In view of the security problems in cloud computing, a cross-domain identity authentication scheme based on group signature is proposed. This scheme introduces a group of cloud service providers and users who are located in different trust domains. Any member of the group can generate the signature on behalf of the whole group, making the user access the cloud service provider in the case of privacy security. At the same time, with traceability it can track illegal operation of illegal users. In addition, the scheme uses the Chinese Remainder Theorem to integrate the message, and it can control the length of the data in the calculation process, simplifying the calculation process. It also realizes the join and revocation of group members without changing the key of other legitimate group members, and the maintenance cost of authentication schemes is low. The results show that the scheme has the advantages of anonymity, anti-counterfeit, traceability, anti-joint attack and so on. It can not only realize tracking function under the condition of guaranteeing user's privacy, but can also simplify the authentication calculation process to improve the efficiency of the cross domain identity authentication, and its performance is more suitable for large-scale cloud computing environment. |
