Recently, mobile computing is known as a fast-growing utilization of people's daily life. However, the main is the limited mobile devices’ resources such as processing capability, storage space and battery life. With the development of cloud computing, mobile devices’ resources are improved with the help of cloud services, which resulted an emerged technology named Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC). Although the MCC has several advantages for mobile users, it is also challenged by many critical issues like security and privacy of the mobile user's data that offloaded on the cloud’ servers and processed on the virtual machines (VMs). In virtualization, various investigations showed that malicious users are able to break down the cloud security methods by spreading their VMs in order to alter or violate the user sensitive data that executed on cloud’ VMs. This paper deeply analyzes the recent MCC based virtualization approaches and methods by criticizing them. We found out that no approach protects the data from being stolen while distributed VMs that deployed on different cloud servers exchanging data. Hence, the paper provides practical gaps related to virtualization in MCC and future perspectives.

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.

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 is a combination of general Cloud Computing and Mobile Computing in which we have to access resources from the remote cloud data center with the help of mobile electronics and peripherals like mobile smartphones, laptops, gadgets, etc. via Cellular Technology or Wireless Communication. Mobile devices have lots of resource constraints like storage capacity, processing speed, and battery life. Hence through simple mobile computing software and programming, we cannot manipulate on mobile devices of cloud data center information. Because of such kinds of difficulty, we have to process information or data through external mobile devices. Accessing and processing of data with the help of Trusted Third Party Agency (TPA) outside the cloud data center and mobile devices have lots of security challenges. To make cloud data secure over outside resources, lots of terminologies and theory are put forward by various researchers. In this paper, we will analyze their theory and its limitations and offer our security algorithm proposal. In this thesis article, we analyze the security framework for storing data on Cloud Server by Mobile and limitation of this process. Also, we review the theory of how data can be secure our data on cloud administrators

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.
