Abstract: The adoption of cloud computing in different areas has shown benefits and given solutions to applications. The cloud provider offers virtualized platforms through virtual machines for the cloud users to store the data and perform computations. Due to the distributed nature of cloud, there are many challenges and security is one of the challenges. To address this challenge, verification method is implemented to achieve high level security in the cloud environment. Many researchers have provided different authentication mechanisms to safeguard virtual machines from attacks. In this paper, Multi Stage Authentication is proposed to overcome the threats from attackers towards virtual machines. In order to authorize and access the virtual machine, multistage authentication incorporating the factors like username, email id, password and OTP is carried out. Mealy Machine model is applied to analyze the state changes with factors supplied at multiple stages and trust built with each stage. Experimental results prove that system is safe achieving data integrity and privacy. The proposed work gives the protection against unauthorized users, provides secure environment to the cloud users accessing the virtual machines.

Keywords: Authentication; multi stage authentication; one time password; finite state machine; mealy machine
