Mobile cloud computing paradigm enables cloud servers to extend the limited hardware resources of mobile devices improving availability and reliability of the services provided. Consequently, private, financial, business and critical data pass through wireless access media exposed to malicious attacks. Mobile cloud infrastructure requires new security mechanisms, at the same time as offloading operations...
Despite many applications, mobile cloud computinginduces privacy concerns. In particular, when mobile device usersoffload the computation of a mobile app to the cloud, they may notwant the cloud service provider (CSP) to know what kind of appthey are using, since that information might be used to infer theirpersonal activities and living habits. One possible way for the CSPto learn the type of an...
Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) promises a paradigm shift in enabling efficient Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC) services by providing storage and processing capacity within the access range of the mobile devices. In MEC, Mobile Edge (ME) servers are placed at the edge of the mobile networks eliminating the need to offload compute-/storage-intensive tasks of the mobile devices to the core of the network (the...
Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC) is an emerging technology which attempts to combine the storage and processing resources of cloud environment with the dynamicity and accessibility of mobile devices. Security, particularly authentication, is fast evolving as a focal area in mobile cloud computing research. This paper comprehensively surveys the various authentication mechanisms proposed so far for mobile...
Thanks to the improvement of the wireless communication technology, mobile devices have played a crucial role in the people's lives. Mobile Cloud Computing refers to an infrastructure where data processing and storage happen outside the mobile device. Despite this, data storage and data sharing are not fully supported by the mobile devices because of their limitations like the limited storage capacity,...
Cloud computing is a great business idea and in the past many years this idea has blossomed into a major segment in IT industry. Enterprises, irrespective of size, have either adopted cloud or planning to adopt cloud. In today's Smartphone era, mobile technology is a perfect match to leverage cloud computing, the later inherently addressing the limitations of the former. With cloud computing, data...
This work explores the design trends on Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC) and the recent shift to Ubiquitous Cloud Computing (UCC). The study shows that efficient architectures for the MCC and UCC systems can be deployed through the employment of techniques such as: Virtual Machine (VM) Architectures and Migration, Data, Services, Resource and Computation Offloading, Partitioning and Parallel Execution,...
With the development of cloud computing and mobility, mobile cloud computing has emerged and become a focus of research. By the means of on-demand self-service and extendibility, it can offer the infrastructure, platform, and software services in a cloud to mobile users through the mobile network. Security and privacy are the key issues for mobile cloud computing applications, and still face some...
Cloud Computing (CC) is fast becoming well known in the computing world as the latest technology. CC enables users to use resources as and when they are required. Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC) is an integration of the concept of cloud computing within a mobile environment, which removes barriers linked to the mobile devices' performance. Nevertheless, these new benefits are not problem-free entirely...
