Abstract
IT Companies have shifted their resources to the cloud at rapidly increasing rate. As part of this trend
companies are migrating business critical and sensitive data stored in database to cloud-hosted and
Database as a Service (DBaaS) solutions.Of all that has been written about cloud computing, precious
little attention has been paid to authentication in the cloud. In this paper we have designed a new effective
authentication scheme for Cloud Database as a Service (DBaaS). A user can change his/her password,
whenever demanded. Furthermore, security analysis realizes the feasibility of the proposed model for
DBaaS and achieves efficiency. We also proposed an efficient authentication scheme to solve the
authentication problem in cloud. The proposed solution which we have provided is based mainly on
improved Needham-Schroeder’s protocol to prove the users’ identity to determine if this user is authorized
or not. The results showed that this scheme is very strong and difficult to break it.
