Hi Manish Verma thanks for your reply and the information you have provided.
I would like to ask you, do you have suggestions on any new research area around access control mechanism used in cloud based identity and access management system.
I was looking at security issues in MFA, SSO and LDAP but the areas appears to be highly researched already and this are the area I would like to focus on and find it really interesting - but I am just struggling to find current a security issues / gaps in the above mentioned authentication mechanism used in cloud based identity and access management system.
Do you know of any topics in the above area that has not been highly researched already?
Thanks for this feedback, The identity and access management using blockchain sounds like an interesting lead. I will dive into it and I get with any questions.
Based on your last feedback, I have come up with a topic as below:
A critical analysis of common security risks in cloud-based identity & access management system. How Blockchain Could Transform Identity & Access management in cloud computing.
What do you think about this topic as it is? Can it be simplified? The topic is for an Msc dissertation.
