The widespread adoption of cloud computing enables the end-users to leverage convenient sharing, unlimited storage and on-demand access to big data. The extensive combination of servers, networks, users and resources necessitate secure mutual authentication protocol to verify the legitimacy of users for cloud services. Recently, Sahoo et al. and Chen et al. proposed multi-factor mutual authentication and key agreement (MAKA) protocols. However, we identify that Sahoo et al.'s protocol is prone to user linkability, replay and denial-of-service (DoS) attacks. Also, Chen et al.'s protocol is vulnerable to user linkability and known session-specific temporary information (KSSTI) attack. To mitigate these vulnerabilities, we propose a novel elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) based provably secure and privacy-preserving multi-factor authentication protocol for cloud environment. Our protocol delivers user anonymity, unlinkability, perfect forward secrecy, session key security as security and privacy authentication features. The security of our protocol is proved theoretically under Real-Or-Random (ROR) model. We validate the correctness properties of our protocol under Scyther security verification tool. The informal security analysis illustrates that our protocol resists various security attacks such as replay, DoS, KSSTI, user impersonation, server spoofing, password-guessing and privileged insider. Finally, we compare our protocol with Sahoo et al., Chen et al. and other existing relevant protocols regarding security features, communication, and computation overheads. The results illustrate that our protocol exhibits high security with reasonable communication and computational overheads than other existing relevant protocols.
