Abstract: Cloud computing is an emerging technology that lets users to access the cloud server to store their data and access it on-demand, anywhere and at anytime. But it also has many security issues since the CSPs are not in the domain of trust. Thus, to guarantee the safety of data from untrusted sources many securing mechanisms are being adopted since the security of services in a cloud technology is a very important aspect, which cannot be ignored. If certain critical data falls in the wrong hands, it can wreak havoc. The existing systems apply cryptographic methods at a fine-grained access control and data sharing levels for the services of dynamic user groups in cloud, but it poses to be a challenging issue. In fine-grained access control each data item is given its own control policy. If an entity wants to access a data item it will have to provide its credentials to a third party policy enforcer, which is not the owner of the data. These access control policies and the entity credentials might reveal some critical information to the policy enforcer to which it is not entitled to know. In this paper we propose securing cloud technology services using biometric and cognitive methodologies for dynamic cloud user groups. Extraction of unique and different personal characteristics and behavioral patterns are used in management protocols. Cognitive security is based on application of AI technology of human thought process to find the most appropriate solution in a situation, and along with the users Biometric features like palm/finger prints, voice recognition, retina scan, facial recognition and with the addition of cryptographic methods to these an efficient and secure solution is developed.
