Making sure information is more basic in the Mobile Cloud environment. In this paper, the working ideas of MCC and its different security issues and arrangements are given by analysts are broke down and also compare with different models.

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 Issues and Challenges of Mobile Cloud Computing

International Journal of Grid and Distributed Computing, 2013

Cloud computing is proving itself an emerging technology in IT world which provides a novel business model for organizations to utilize softwares, applications and hardware resources without any upfront investment. Few years later with the broad development in mobile applications and advancements in cloud computing, a new expansion is being expected in the form of mobile cloud computing (MCC). MCC provides a platform where mobile users make use of cloud services on mobile devices. The use of MCC minimizes the performance, compatibility, and lack of resources issues in mobile computing environment. Despite the astonishing advancement achieved by MCC, the users of MCC are still below expectations because of the associated risks in terms of security and privacy. These risks are playing important role by preventing the organizations to adopt MCC environment. Significant amount of research is in progress in order to reduce the security concerns but still a lot work has to be done to produce a security prone MCC environment. This paper presents a comprehensive literature review of MCC and its security issues and challenges.

Mobile Cloud Computing: Issues from a Security Perspective

2014

Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC) is exploring prodigious storm in IT due to anywhere anytime data access. Mobile contrivances are enabled with affluent utilizer experience especially, Smartphones. Apple, Google, Facebook and Amazon are the top four horsemen in the mobile world. That is why the mobile cloud computing technology is growing rapidly among the users and at the same time it introduces the incipient security threats withal.

As the Internet-enabled mobile contrivances including smartphones and tablets perpetuate to grow, web-predicated malignant threats will perpetuate to increment in number to make more involute. Securing data is more critical in the Mobile Cloud Environment. In MCC, Security is the major issue. In this paper, the working concepts of MCC and its assorted security issues and solut...

Mobile Cloud Computing-Challenges and Security Issues

2015

Mobility has changed the way the world has been looking at mobile phones. Mobile phones have become smart and mobile applications more intelligent and complex. These applications require heavy computations, data mining, searching and multimedia processing. This is where Cloud services can help greatly by enhancing the computing capability of otherwise not so competent mobile devices. Mobile Cloud Computing is cloud computing extended by mobility and a new ad-hoc infrastructure based on mobile devices. The potential growth of mobile cloud computing seems to have taken the world by storm. In the current scenario security of data on the Mobile Cloud has become more important because of the increasing usage of mobile devices with internet. This paper therefore discusses the security issues involved in mobile cloud computing and the solutions that have been proposed till now.

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...

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.

2013

Secure Mobile-Cloud is a framework proposed to secure the data transmitted between the components of a mobile cloud application. In addition, the framework, takes into account the following aspects: 1) the users options regarding the security level required for private data and 2) the device energy consumption. The framework includes several distributed components. Some of these components are deployed on the mobile device and some of them in Cloud. This paper is focused on the implementation of the Secure Mobile-Cloud framework components on the mobile device. A proof of concept Android prototype is proposed.

An Improved Security Mechanism for Protecting Data in Mobile Cloud Environment

International Journal of Advanced Science and Technology, 2016

Cloud computing is a popular technology that provides services to the users on demand and on pay-per-usage fee that is they only pay for the data utilized when required. With the vast growth in the use of mobile phone applications, the users are relying on their phones for their personal as well as professional work and suffering from many problems (storage, processing, security etc). To overcome these limitations and growth in the use of cloud applications, a new development area has emerged recently called as Mobile cloud computing. Mobile cloud computing is an integration of three technologies cloud computing, mobile computing and internet, enabling the users to access the services at any time and from any place. Mobile phones are sensitive devices and the personal data is not secured when user stores data on cloud and can be easily attacked by unauthorized person. This paper presents a high level authentication and encryption model through a mobile application that encrypts the data before moving it to the cloud that ensures the security and the strong user authentication.
