Abstract: Enterprises are exploring the option of multi-cloud setup to avoid the vendor lock in and cloud concentration index. This process of migration to multi cloud setup for the applications throws up various challenges in terms of identity management. The Cloud Service Providers (CSP) do not provide portability and endorse their vendor specific identity credentials. As a result, there is a need for common Identity Access Management (IAM) capable of mapping this heterogenous identities and giving the enterprise a common view of identities among the CSPs. This also solves the identity silos and helps consolidating identities in various permission and access evaluation metrics to check for access sprawl. Here, a plurality of attributes is merged based on a privacy-based weight. Further, a weighted sum-based confidence score is computed for the plurality of merged identity tuples and optimal merged identity tuples are identified based on the associated weighted sum-based confidence score.
