Abstract: The widespread adoption of multi-cloud in enterprises is one of the root causes of cost-effectiveness. Cloud service providers reduce storage costs through advanced data de-duplication, which also provides vulnerabilities for attackers. Traditional approaches to authentication and data security for a single cloud need to be upgraded to be best suitable for cloud-to-cloud data migration security in order to mitigate the impact of dictionary and template attacks on authentication and data integrity, respectively. This paper proposes a scheme of user layer authentication along with lightweight cryptography. The proposed simulates its mathematical model to analyze the behavioral pattern of time-complexity of data security along with user auth protection. The performance pattern validates the model for scalability and reliability against both authentication and data integrity.
