Cloud Computing is the next generation Internet Service and data center used for public utilities and on-demand computing. Cloud computing is not a totally new technology, but rather a derived concept of application and service innovation in which, multi-tenancy is one of the important issues among the core technologies of cloud computing applications. Many tenants can access the different applications and computing resources in the same cloud server, whereas concurrent use by many users on a database or application will lead to large data volume, time consuming and security issues. Under these circumstances, it is particularly important to separate application and data for conflicts avoidance to enhance the system and data security. In this research work we study various key challenges of cloud computing and identify the various access control schemes for cloud computing. This paper emphasizes the cloud service model under a Multi-Tenant Architecture (MTA), using identity management and Role-Based Access Control, to enhance a Role-Based Multi-Tenancy Access Control (RB- MTAC).Side channel attack is possible in RB-MTAC.To prevent the side channel attack; a technique will be proposed which is based on the server identification. Before presenting its credentials to the server, legitimate client will ask the server for its credentials. If the server’s credentials are verified by the client then further process will proceed otherwise algorithm will halt. The proposed scheme is compared with the existing scheme.

Keywords- MTA, RB-MTAC, SLA tenant, SaaS, PaaS, IaaS.
