The use of mobile devices (e.g., smartphones, tablet computers, and PDAs) has steadily increased in recent years. At the same time the cloud-based applications have greatly enhanced the computing capabilities to these mobile devices. Therefore, the emergence of mobile-cloud technology is promising for offloading computations to the cloud. In this chapter we explore the state-of-the-art research in mobile-cloud technology and discuss the integration of the mobile devices and cloud-based applications. We begin by describing the mobile-cloud architecture and its functional components. Next, we explore the applications (e.g., education, healthcare, disaster management, etc.) and related challenges (e.g., bandwidth utilization, latency, connectivity, etc.) with the mobile-cloud technology. Finally, we outline the issues associated to these applications that need to be improved upon for delivering a more scalable and resource-enhanced mobile-cloud technology to the users.

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.

Cloud Technology

Mobile Cloud computing is define as the new paradigm, and in this new paradigm computational power is on demand service and accessible through mobiles and tablets. When user decides to go towards cloud computing, there is a risk of losing control on his own data. So providing security of the data during transmission and when saved on the cloud storage is a major issue. Any application relying upon an emerging technology should consider the different possible threats. The principal reason why people are afraid of using Cloud technology is that data security and integrity among all other issues involved in Cloud technology constitute a great challenge. As data security issues, access control as well as key management are also a reason why Cloud technology is not widely adopted. In mobile cloud computing, the security related to data involving data integrity, confidentiality, availability and traceability is the most critical concern of cloud users. As now mobile cloud is changing how users used to work over the network, by helping them in terms of cost and reduction of tasks complexity. Hence, it is very important for the user to be ensured that the transmission of the data is secure, that the consistency as well as the storage of the data on the cloud provider side is secured. Hence the necessity for developing trust security model is demanding.

Privacy Issues

Security is one of the main concerns of those who want to adopt and migrate to cloud computing technology. Security issues raised by cloud technology reveals that mobile cloud computing is raising the privacy and security issues such as identification and authentication issue, as sometimes the identity and the authentication of the owner of the device or the owner of the data contained in the cloud was not strictly remote. These are some examples that could be considered as major setbacks to the mobile cloud computing adaptation and the reason why some entities are still reluctant of embracing, adopting and migrating to this technology. This research reviews the phenomenon of mobile cloud computing, and the security and privacy issues intrinsic within the area of mobile application and cloud computing with more emphasis on the security and privacy considerations to embrace and migrate to Mobile Cloud Computing.
