Abstract
Over the past decade the enterprise computing has been shifted to new paradigm called as Cloud computing. The cloud-computing paradigm provides several service models fitting the needs of an individual or organization. The ease of deployment, reduced costs, availability, scalability, accessibility, flexibility and location independence are some of the very strengths of this paradigm, giving rise to its popularity. Another emerging trend in enterprise computing is the use of smart phone devices, the Smart phone devices has been advanced greatly, in recent years, so has malicious code. Although, smart phones are advancing in terms of computational power, rapidly replacing Personal Computers (PCs) as first choice of a computing device but there is a major problem of resource poverty. For overcoming that issues now most of the organizations started to providing cloud services to their users. This flexibility and accessibility increases the popularity of Mobile cloud computing. On the contrary, security and privacy issues are limiting its wide spread deployment. This paper introduced a new Authentication Strategy for a mobile cloud, Which will provide high security while accessing the number of services provided by the cloud. The propose system overcomes the issue of stealing the authorization tokens through malicious insiders by using a multi tokens as well provides a security against Eaves Dropping and Man In Middle attack.
