ABSTRACT
There are many ways to setup Cloud environment and understand it by the concept of virtualization. In this paper CloudReports tool has been discussed to simulate cloud environments and simultaneously generate various kinds of reports and help researchers to carry out experiments in this domain. Location based authentication is one of the methods that helps to ensure the authenticity of the user. GPS (Global Positioning System) is used to get the geographical location of the users and only those end users can use the resources and services that are present in that particular location to meet the protocols. Once the location is authenticated AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) algorithm is used for secure communication for the transference of data is accessed over the internet. This paper aims at providing the knowledge of CloudReports which uses CloudSim as its simulation engine in which IaaS framework is implemented with location-based authentication of the user in cloud computing.
