Technical Requirements

Mobile cloud computing (MCC) combines cloud computing and mobile computing to deliver vast computational resources to mobile consumers, network operators, and cloud computing providers. You may access your data from anywhere in the globe using any mobile device that is linked to the Internet. Cloud computing provides access to data in real-time whenever and wherever want. Any conventional mobile device can benefit from MCC's infrastructure, computational capacity, software, and platform services. Network security, web application security, data access, authentication, authorization, data confidentiality, and data breach are all concerns of MCC's security. Because mobile devices lack sufficient storage and processing power, their data storage capacity is limited. Users of mobile devices may inadvertently provide sensitive information over the network or through the application. Therefore, data security is the main concern for mobile device users. The objective of this paper is to find a solution that can enhance technical requirements with relation to user’s data security and privacy in mobile cloud computing. To achieve this improved blowfish encryption algorithm is used to encrypt each user’s data security and where the shared secret key is hash down using message digest called secured hash function. Hashing can increase the integrity and privacy of user data. The proposed algorithm is evaluated with a normal blowfish algorithm and 3DES with different parameters. Improved blowfish algorithm shows better performance than normal blowfish algorithm and 3DES. In this work, we have developed web-based application where the Amazon MySQL RDS database is used for data storage.

With the development of cloud computing and mobility, mobile cloud computing has emerged and become a focus of research. Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC) integrates mobile computing and cloud computing aiming to extend mobile devices capabilities. 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. There is huge market for mobile based e-Commerce applications across the globe. Security and privacy are the key issues for mobile cloud computing applications. 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.

With the recent advances in cloud computing and the improvement in the capabilities of mobile devices in terms of speed, storage, and computing power, Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC) is emerging as one of important branches of cloud computing. MCC is an extension of cloud computing with the support of mobility. In this paper, the authors first present the specific concerns and key challenges in mobile cloud computing. They then discuss the different approaches to tackle the main issues in MCC that have been introduced so far, and finally focus on describing the proposed overall architecture of a middleware that will contribute to providing mobile users data storage and processing services based on their mobile devices capabilities, availability, and usage. A prototype of the middleware is developed and three scenarios are described to demonstrate how the middleware performs in adapting the provision of cloud web services by transforming SOAP messages to REST and XML format to JSON, in optimizing the results by extracting relevant information, and in improving the availability by caching. Initial analysis shows that the mobile cloud middleware improves the quality of service for mobiles, and provides lightweight responses for mobile cloud services.

Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC) has become an important research area due to rapid growth of mobile applications and emergence of cloud computing. MCC refers to integration of cloud computing into a mobile environment. Cloud providers (e.g. Google, Amazon, and Salesforce) support mobile users by providing the required infrastructure (e.g. servers, networks, and storage), platforms, and software. Mobile devices are rapidly becoming a fundamental part of human lives and these enable users to access various mobile applications through remote servers using wireless networks. Traditional mobile device-based computing, data storage, and large-scale information processing is transferred to “cloud,” and therefore, requirement of mobile devices with high computing capability and resources are reduced. This chapter provides a survey of MCC including its definition, architecture, and applications. The authors discuss the issues in MCC, existing solutions, and approaches. They also touch upon the computation offloading mechanism for MCC.

Cloud Computing is a very viable data storage structure where the users can store and access the data from anywhere. Cloud computing use is increasing at a very rapid pace nowadays. But as cloud allows us data accessibility quite easily data security is a major concern and is an emerging area of study. Other issues related to cloud computing are data privacy and internet dependency. On the other cloud computing also has wide range of benefits over traditional storage and accessibility environment such as scalability, flexibility and resource utilization. We have worked in the area of mobile cloud computing to analyse and solve the problems of anomaly attacks. Our work focuses on preventing the adaptive anomaly attacks and some other security issues of cloud computing

Use Of Resources

Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC) is a recent technological development, which has emerged from two popular technology trends; mobile computing and cloud. In essence it revolutionises the capabilities of mobile devices by integrating both storage and processing of the cloud environment with mobile computing and in doing so providing greater optimisation and operating power, allowing for transparent and seamless use of resources provided by the cloud. However, expanding the capability of resource constrained mobile devices in this manner comes at a price. There are many risks associated with the security of data within the cloud environment and as MCC essentially uses the cloud, it also inherits any security issues that are associated with cloud computing. The aim of this survey is to identify potential data security issues, and analyse and present some pioneering security mechanisms and finally suggest some future directions for better data security with MCC.

In recent years, the mobile devices become popular for communication and running advanced real time applications such as face reorganization and online games. Although, mobile devices advanced for providing significant benefits for mobile users. But still, these devices suffers with limited recourses such as computation power, battery and storage space due to the portable size. However, The Cloud Technology overcome the limitations of mobile computing with better performance and recourses. The cloud technology provides enough computing recourses to run mobile applications as storage computing power on cloud platform. Therefore, the novel technology called mobile cloud computing (MCC) is introduced by integrating two technologies (Mobile Computing, Cloud Computing) in order to overcome the limitations(such as Battery life, Storage capacity, Processing capacity) of Mobile Devices by offloading application to recourse rich Remote server. This paper presents an overview of MCC, the advantages of MCC, the related concepts and the technology beyond various offloading frameworks, the architecture of the MCC, Cloudlet technology, security and privacy issues and limitations of mobile cloud computing. Finally, we conclude with feature research directions in MCC.
