Abstract
Growing needs of organizations have left them looking for innovative solutions in cloud computing. One of the methods currently being used to meet those demands is federated cloud computing. Described as the linking of many service providers' cloud environments to load balance traffic and respond to spikes in server demand, this environment provides great solutions for those in need of them. However, cloud computing generally uses single factor authentication which has proven to be less effective. This paper proposes a multi factor authentication framework for federated cloud environments to address the security issues surrounding federated cloud computing. The proposed method will be implemented on a simulated cloud environment to evaluate its strength and ability of protection against various simulated attacks and all results will be recorded.
