In current days cloud computing is providing great flexibility for the end- users to store and access a lot of valuable information to and from remote servers. As we all know that data is uploaded into the cloud is outsourced to a third party untrusted remote server, privacy for that data is almost a big problem for the enterprises. Hence in this current project, we try to add a new level of security for the cloud data by adding biometric authentication techniques like fingerprint images and then verify the user authentication based on the biometric images. Here we try to design a mutual authentication scheme based on a smartcard for cloud computing to avoid the illegal data access by unauthorized users and in which this will be divided into two phases for providing security. Here we try to use finger print images as main source of security and also try to authenticate them by using same images during upload or download time. By conducting various experiments on our proposed method we finally came to a conclusion that proposed method is best in providing data security in the cloud server.
