Enhancing Security in Cloud Computing Using Two-Tier CAPTCHA

This document proposes a two-tier CAPTCHA system to enhance security in cloud computing by making it harder for bots to access cloud resources. It introduces CAPTCHAs and their use in preventing spam, dictionary attacks, and unauthorized bot access. The proposed two-tier CAPTCHA system generates an alphanumeric code and image containing noise along with a related query. It stores the code-query combination in a session and compares user input to the stored value to validate humans while making it more difficult for bots to solve.

Enhancing Security in Cloud Computing

using Two-Tier CAPTCHA

Introduction
Cloud computing has many advantages like broad
network access, cost effectiveness, rapid
elasticity, energy saving, resource pooling and
reliability.
Cloud computing is suffering from some
drawbacks like security and privacy.
Distributed denial of service attack is biggest
threat in cloud computing, where attackers
prevent legitimate users using desired resources.

Proposed Solution
CAPTCHA -Completely Automated Public Turing
Tests to Tell Computers and Humans Apart
CAPTCHA is used for graphical turing test.
Many OCR and Non OCR based CAPTCHA's are
prone to many attacks.
In our project, we are using two-tier CAPTCHA.

CAPTCHA
Program that can generate and grade tests that
humans can pass but computer programs cannot
Applications:

Preventing Comment Spam in Blogs


Preventing Dictionary Attacks
Search Engine Bots
Online Polls

Two-Tier CAPTCHA
In this new method, CLAD node need to generate two
things
Alphanumeric CAPTCHA and CAPTCHA code with
image
Second query related to CAPTCHA code

Method makes hard for bot programs

Algorithm
Create a random alphanumeric code
Create image with some noise containing that code
Select random query related to that code
Keep combination of code and query in session
Set CAPTCHA Image onto the user interface page
along with Query

Algorithm(Continued)
Allow user to provide input
Compare Input provided by user with value stored in
session

Correct input - Allow user to proceed and Delete the used


CAPTCHA Image

Incorrect input Provide another CAPTCHA image and


give limited chances

THANK YOU
