Titel
Identity management framework for cloud networking infrastructure
Abstract
The Cloud Networking(CloNe) infrastructure provisions elastic, secure, and on-demand virtualized network resources to the end user. It incorporates the Network-as-a-Service(NaaS) provisioning model, which enhances network-level scalability, throughput, and performance. In this paper, we extend the CloNe architecture by designing, deploying, and integrating an identity management framework, customized for the CloNe infrastructure. The identity management framework proposed in this paper, is based on the User Managed Access(UMA) protocol. The framework supports authentication, authorization, and identity management of entities in the CloNe infrastructure. Furthermore it enables federated identity management and management of access control policies across different infrastructure providers.
