Cell phones are turning into a basic piece of our day by day life because of most proficient and powerful specialized devices without time and space boundation. Everybody has a portable, tablet, tablet with calling office i.e. Fablet. Distributed computing (DC) has been broadly perceived as the cutting edge's registering foundation with the fast development of portable applications and the support of Cloud Computing for an assortment of administrations, the Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC) is presented as an incorporation of Cloud Computing into the Mobile Environment. Portable Cloud Computing is picking up stream. MCC is alluded to as the framework where both the information stockpiling and the information handling occur outside the cell phone. In MCC condition, Cloud Computing, Mobile Computing and Application confront a few difficulties like Mobile Computation Offloading, Seamless Connectivity, Vendor/Data Lock-in, Long WAN Latency, Live VM (Virtual Machine) relocation issues, Low Bandwidth, Energy-Efficient Transmissions and Trust-Security and Privacy Issues. In this paper, I have talked about around a few difficulties and issues identified with the Mobile Cloud Computing. This paper gives data about Mobile Cloud Computing Application, Security and Issues.

The principle constraints of mobile devices are their limited resources such as processing capability, storage space and battery life. While cloud computing offers a vast computing resources services. A new idea emerged by including the cloud computing into mobile devices to augment the capacities of the mobile devices resources such as smartphones, tablet, and other personal digital assistant (PDA) which provides a robust technology called Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC). Although MCC have brought many advantages for the mobile users, it also stills suffer from security and privacy side of data while hosted on virtual machines (VM) on remote cloud’s servers. Currently, the eyes of the security expert’s community turned towards the virtualization-based security technique either on the Cloud or on the mobile devices. The new challenge is to develop secure methods in order to authenticate high sensitive digital content. This paper investigates the main challenges regarding the security and privacy issues in mobile cloud exactly focusing on the virtualization issue layer and give clear strengths and weaknesses of recent relevant virtualization security techniques existing in the literature. Hence, the paper provides perspectives for researchers in order to achieve as a future work.

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.

Mobile cloud computing has grown out of two hot technology trends, mobility and cloud. The emergence of cloud computing and its extension into the mobile domain creates the potential for a global, interconnected mobile cloud computing environment that will allow the entire mobile ecosystem to enrich their services across multiple networks. We can utilize significant optimization and increased operating power offered by cloud computing to enable seamless and transparent use of cloud resources to extend the capability of resource constrained mobile devices. However, in order to realize mobile cloud computing, we need to develop mechanisms to achieve interoperability among heterogeneous and distributed devices. We need solutions to discover best available resources in the cloud servers based on the user demands and approaches to deliver desired resources and services efficiently and in a timely fashion to the mobile terminals. Furthermore, while mobile cloud computing has tremendous potential to enable the mobile terminals to have access to powerful and reliable computing resources anywhere and anytime, we must consider several issues including privacy and security, and reliability in realizing mobile cloud computing. In this chapter, the authors first explore the architectural components required to realize a mobile cloud computing infrastructure. They then discuss mobile cloud computing features with their unique privacy and security implications. They present unique issues of mobile cloud computing that exacerbate privacy and security challenges. They also discuss various approaches to address these challenges and explore the future work needed to provide a trustworthy mobile cloud computing environment.

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.
