Mobile Cloud Computing and Its Security and Privacy Challenges

Concepts, Methodologies, Tools, and Applications

Mobile cloud computing has grown out of two hot technology trends, mobility and cloud. The emergence of cloud computing and its extension into the mobile domain creates the potential for a global, interconnected mobile cloud computing environment that will allow the entire mobile ecosystem to enrich their services across multiple networks. We can utilize significant optimization and increased operating power offered by cloud computing to enable seamless and transparent use of cloud resources to extend the capability of resource constrained mobile devices. However, in order to realize mobile cloud computing, we need to develop mechanisms to achieve interoperability among heterogeneous and distributed devices. We need solutions to discover best available resources in the cloud servers based on the user demands and approaches to deliver desired resources and services efficiently and in a timely fashion to the mobile terminals. Furthermore, while mobile cloud computing has tremendous potential to enable the mobile terminals to have access to powerful and reliable computing resources anywhere and anytime, we must consider several issues including privacy and security, and reliability in realizing mobile cloud computing. In this chapter, the authors first explore the architectural components required to realize a mobile cloud computing infrastructure. They then discuss mobile cloud computing features with their unique privacy and security implications. They present unique issues of mobile cloud computing that exacerbate privacy and security challenges. They also discuss various approaches to address these challenges and explore the future work needed to provide a trustworthy mobile cloud computing environment.

A Review on Security in Mobile Cloud Computing

International Journal of Scientific Research in Computer Science, Engineering and Information Technology, 2020

Cloud Computing refers to various services that are accessible through the Internet. These essential sources encompass servers, databases, storage, analytics, software, and different applications. Mobile cloud computing (MCC) is the availability of cloud computing offerings in a cell environment. Mobile Cloud Computing at its simplest refers to an infrastructure where both the storage and therefore, the processing of information happens outside the mobile device. Users can remotely store their data also enjoy high-quality on-demand cloud applications without the restrictions of getting to get and maintain your local hardware and software. Despite the surprising advancement achieved by MCC, the clients of MCC remains below expectations. Thanks to the related risks regarding security and confidentiality. The more and more information is placed onto the cloud by the individuals and enterprises, the more the safety issue begins to grow. This paper gives a summary of the cloud computing concept followed by an outline of mobile cloud computing, and therefore, the different security issues pertinent to the mobile cloud computing environment.

Security, Privacy Issues and Solutions of Mobile Cloud Computing

United International Journal for Research & Technology, 2021

Simplicity usage, accessibility and the lack of internationally agreed overall service access / safety protocols allow the mobile cloud vulnerable to various forms of violence. The introduction of smartphones and the extensive usage of other technology such as smartphones has brought significant changes to cloud storage, providing a higher level of versatility in data access, and thus increasing the need for security protocols. Unlike many problems, when dealing with business goals, financial activity and health care, protection and confidentiality are critical. In this study, we discuss mobile cloud computing in detail, then the model and role of the whole technology. Finally, we dragged some solutions for the three-level security and privacy concerns.
