Secure Private Cloud Architecture for Mobile Infrastructure as a Service

… (SERVICES), 2012 IEEE …, 2012

Cloud based systems have gained popularity over traditional systems owing to their advantages like cost effectiveness, pay per use, scalability and ease to upgrade. Market is dominated by various cloud vendors providing Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). However threat to security in mobile IaaS based cloud environment prohibits the usage of services specially, in case of public cloud environment. In this paper we propose secure private cloud architecture for mobile infrastructure as a service. As a prototype service, we deploy a virtual research lab which provides infrastructure and computing resources dynamically in a secure way. The proposed secure private cloud architecture for the lab environment provides the cloud services along with mobility. Mobility gives the researcher the flexibility to access cloud services on their mobile devices anywhere and anytime. We analyse the proposed architecture using a prototype on OpenNebula platform and compare it with traditional computational infrastructure. Results show that our architecture is capable to support 84% more users.

A New Secure Mobile Cloud Architecture

2015

The demand and use of mobile phones, PDAs and smart phones are constantly on the rise as such, manufacturers of these devices are improving the technology and usability of these devices constantly. Due to the handy shape and size these devices come in, their processing capabilities and functionalities, they are preferred by many over the conventional desktop or laptop computers. Mobile devices are being used today to perform most tasks that a desktop or laptop computer could be used for. On this premise, mobile devices are also used to connect to the resources of cloud computing hence, mobile cloud computing (MCC). The seemingly ubiquitous and pervasive nature of most mobile devices has made it acceptable and adequate to match the ubiquitous and pervasive nature of cloud computing. Mobile cloud computing is said to have increased the challenges known to cloud computing due to the security loop holes that most mobile devices have.

An Efficient and Secured Framework for Mobile Cloud Computing

In mobile cloud computing, mobile devices can rely on cloud computing and information storage resource to perform computationally intensive operations such as searching, data mining, and multimedia processing. In addition to providing traditional computation services, mobile cloud also enhances the operation of traditional ad hoc network by treating mobile devices as service nodes, e.g., sensing services. The sensed information, such as location coordinates, health related information, should be processed and stored in a secure fashion to protect user's privacy in the cloud. To this end, we present a new mobile cloud data processing framework through trust management and private data isolation. Finally, an implementation pilot for improving teenagers' driving safety, which is called Focus Drive, is presented to demonstrate the solution.

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.

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.

Privacy & Security of Mobile Cloud Computing

2015

The Indian government, like governments elsewhere in the world, has chosen mobile device as preferred platform to engage with citizens while offering various e-Governance services. Likewise there is huge market for mobile based e-Commerce applications across the globe. However uptake of these services is challenged by the security and privacy concerns of the end user. The limited processing power and memory of a mobile device dependent on inherently unreliable wireless channel for communication and battery for power leaves little scope for a reliable security layer. Thus there is a need for a lightweight secure framework that provides security with minimum communication and processing overhead on mobile devices. The security and privacy protection services can be achieved with the help of secure mobile-cloud application services. Taking support from a proximate cloud a security service could be devised for a mobile device which works as an interface and adaptively provides optimum s...
