Nowadays cloud computing has given a new paradigm of computing. Despite several benefits of cloud computing there is still a big challenge of ensuring confidentiality and integrity for sensitive information on the cloud. Therefore to address these challenges without loss of any sensitive information and privacy, we present a novel and robust model called ‘Enhanced Cloud Security using Hyper Elliptic Curve and Biometric’ (ECSHB). The model ECSHB ensures the preservation of data security, privacy, and authentication of data in a cloud environment. The proposed approach combines biometric and hyperelliptic curve cryptography (HECC) techniques to elevate the security of data accessing and resource preservations in the cloud. ECSHB provides a high level of security using less processing power, which will automatically reduce the overall cost. The efficacy of the ECSHB has been evaluated in the form of recognition rate, biometric similarity score, False Matching Ratio (FMR), and False NonMatching Ratio (FNMR). ECSHB has been validated using security threat model analysis in terms of confidentiality. The measure of collision attack, replay attack and non-repudiation is also considered in this work. The evidence of results is compared with some existing work, and the results obtained exhibit better performance in terms of data security and privacy in the cloud environment.
