Challenges of Mobile Cloud Computing

Abstract

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 security issues and challenges in

Mobile cloud computing
