Cloud Computing refers to various services that are accessible through the Internet. These essential sources encompass servers, databases, storage, analytics, software, and different applications. Mobile cloud computing (MCC) is the availability of cloud computing offerings in a cell environment. Mobile Cloud Computing at its simplest refers to an infrastructure where both the storage and therefore, the processing of information happens outside the mobile device. Users can remotely store their data also enjoy high-quality on-demand cloud applications without the restrictions of getting to get and maintain your local hardware and software. Despite the surprising advancement achieved by MCC, the clients of MCC remains below expectations. Thanks to the related risks regarding security and confidentiality. The more and more information is placed onto the cloud by the individuals and enterprises, the more the safety issue begins to grow. This paper gives a summary of the cloud computing concept followed by an outline of mobile cloud computing, and therefore, the different security issues pertinent to the mobile cloud computing environment.

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.

Cloud computing is a system, where the resources of a data center are shared using virtualization technology, such that it provides elastic, on demand and instant services to its customers and charges them based on the resources they use. In this chapter, we will discuss recent developments in cloud computing, various security issues and challenges associated with Cloud computing environment, various existing solutions provided for dealing with these security threats and will provide a comparative analysis these approaches. This will provide better understanding of the various security problems associated with the cloud, current solution space, and future research scope to deal with such attacks in better way.
