Cloud computing is a set of information technology services such as network, software system, storage, hardware, software and resources. Federated cloud computing is a type where various users data is stored across both private and public clouds. Federated cloud has certain rules set by the federation which its users need to follow strictly. Since the federated cloud has data stored across private as well as public clouds, there is constant threat to data. This paper describes a simple data security system implemented using fingerprint biometric technology to ensure data security of the federated cloud system. The data is made more secure by encrypting it before storing it to the cloud. Desired location is also taken into consideration i.e. the location where the user wants his data to be decrypted. Data storage is demonstrated by a prototype consisting of components namely hardware and software. The hardware component is inclusive of fingerprint sensors as an application server. A software program is developed to verify and record the fingerprint data on the remote server. To lower the implementation cost all system components are connected to the cloud.
