AAA in a cloud-based virtual DIME network architecture (DNA)

The design of a cloud architecture can be difficult according the business logic complexity which Cloud Service Providers (SPs) want to achieve. This paper describes a possible solution for simplifying the design of cloud-based services exploiting a DIME Network Architecture (DNA). More specifically, exploiting the signaling channel and FCAPS of DIMEs, we discuss an approach for the management of SSO Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting in cloud-based services
