Abstract
In this paper, we will highlight the enhances technique to authenticate multi-party system in cloud infrastructure. We propose an enhanced tight finite key scheme for Quantum Key Distribution (QKD). With this technique we believe it can provide a secure channel between a cloud client to establish a connection between them by applying quantum theories. As a final result it shows, that it can reduce the possibility of losing a private key by producing a high efficient key rate and attack resilient. Key length is an important security measures.
