Information and telecommunication technology (ICT) has penetrated deep into the human lives and is affecting human life style in different aspects. The rapid growth in ICT has embarked improvement in computing devices and computing techniques. Currently cloud computing is one of the most hyped innovation. It has several positive impacts like reduce cost, increase throughput, ease of use but it also have certain security issues that must be dealt with carefully. There are several techniques that can be used to overcome this major problem. In this paper will analyses biometric authentication in cloud computing, its various techniques and how they are helpful in reducing the security threats. It provides a comprehensive and structured overview of biometric authentication for enhancing cloud security.
