Abstract

This paper focuses the attention on privacy-preserving identity and access management in multiple Cloud environments, which is an annoying problem in the modern big data era. Within this conceptual context, the paper describes contemporaneous models and issues, and put the basis for future solid solutions. Finally, we provide a summary table where we embed an innovative taxonomy of state-of-the-art research proposals in the reference scientific field.
