An identity-based capability (ID-CAP) method is given to provide secure access control to Hadoop cloud computing platforms. The capability-based access control design follows the least privilege principle with the platform running tenant jobs using a least privilege set. Tests show that the capability-based access control can be efficiently implemented to support mutual authentication between different servers in a Hadoop platform while satisfying the least privilege requirement to improve platform security and stability.
