Summary With the rapid development of the Internet, resource and knowledge sharing are two major problems experienced due to the presence of many hackers and malicious users. In this paper, an efficient and secure access control model has been proposed for the cloud computing environment for resource and knowledge sharing by using attribute‐based encryption (ABE), distributed hash table (DHT) network, and identity‐based timed‐release encryption (IDTRE). Here, at first, data or resources are encrypted by using the attributes of users, and encrypted data are divided into the encapsulated ciphertext and extracted ciphertext. Then, IDTRE algorithm has been used to encrypt the decryption key and combined the ciphertext of the key with the extracted ciphertext for creating the ciphertext shares. At last, the ciphertext shares are distributed into the DHT network, and encapsulated ciphertext are stored on the cloud servers. Both the performance and security analysis show the proficiency of the proposed scheme over the existing schemes in a cloud environment.

The situation becomes more critical when many users request for the same data or file.…”

“…It is classified as user authentication, remote authentication, mutual authentication, message authentication, and implicit authentication [11,12]. The current authentication review shows the different attributes, based on password, hash value, identity, digital signature, hierarchical model, mobile number, group key, and biometric [13].…”

“…Smart card based or the trusted third party based authentications are the most common technique to prevent illegal access in an insecure mobile cloud environment [6]. Many authentication protocols proposed [13,18,[24][25][26][27] to verify the originality of end user. However, most of these protocols may not be satisfying the security against a phishing attack.…”

A phishing attack is one of the severe threats to the smartphone users. As per the recent lookout report, mobile phishing attack is increasing 85% year to year and going to become a significant threat to the smartphone users. This social engineering attack attempts to get the user’s password by disguising as trusted service provider. Most of the smartphone users are using the Internet services outside of the traditional firewall. Cloud-based documents are one of the primary targets of this phishing attack in mobile cloud computing. Also, most smartphone users are using the cloud storage in their device. To secure against this password attack in a mobile cloud environment, we propose a new authentication scheme to provide novel security to the mobile cloud services. This scheme will verify the user and service provider without transmitting the password using the Zero-knowledge proof based authentication protocol. Moreover, the proposed scheme will provide mutual authentication between the communication entities. The effectiveness of proposed scheme would be verified using protocol verification tool called Scyther.
