In today's digital era, users are increasingly accessing countless number of applications every day. For accessing these services, the users first have to authenticate themselves and need to maintain a separate set of username and password for each application. This led to the development of Single Sign On (SSO). This paper presents review on SSO enabling technologies and discusses SSO architectures, protocols and analysis related to growing use of SSO.
Cloud computing is distinctively marked by its capability of providing on demand virtualized IT resources in a pay as you go fashion. Due to its popularity, the cloud computing users are increasing day by day which has become an important challenge for cloud providers. They need to serve their users in a best possible manner. The providers should not only provide their users a secure access to resources but also need to maintain a proper balance of QOS parameters like throughput, end-to-end delay, packet delivery ratio, jitter, response time, etc. The paper proposes an approach of using a meta-heuristic algorithm called Genetic Algorithm (GA) to optimize QOS parameters like packet delivery ratio and end to end delay in cloud networks. The intelligent optimization algorithms address several shortcomings of existing protocols by improving QOS parameters in an optimum manner. The results are simulated through MATLAB based simulator and the simulated results of proposed approach exhibit optimized parameters when compared to conventional method of shortest path cloud routing approach.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
