AB- Public cloud architecture offers a public access software service. Users can
login to access the cloud resources via various devices. The main advantage
of the SaaS (Software as a Service) cloud service is that it supports
different software and devices, in order to open web browsers, to
authenticate the users through the standard format. E-books are protected by
digital rights management (DRM), and users can use mobile devices to read
them. However, the users' identity need to be authenticated or the
communication between the user and the cloud server will be at risk. The
processes by which users submit their proof of identity to the cloud needs to
be protected. In this paper, information security can be achieved efficiently
via cloud server architecture and a cryptography mechanism. The proposed
scheme focuses on using a mobile device to access the cloud service. The DRM
mechanisms can protect digital content; once the mobile users pass the
authentication they can access the cloud services, with authenticated users
able to easily use mobile devices to read digital content.
