A mobile phones provides portability and personalized computing with ubiquitous connectivity. This combination makes them an ideal choice to use for various applications of personal use. The portability of mobile devices is the most important and useful feature of mobile devices. However, portability is achieved at the high cost of limited power and computation ability of the mobile device. Cloud computing fulfills the need of providing more computation power to complete the tasks that cannot be done on a mobile platform. The cloud provides an always available platform and do not have typical limitations, e.g. limited battery and computation power, of mobile platforms. Therefore combining cloud computing with mobile provides us best of both worlds i.e. we have a computing platform available for us all the time which we move, and yet we can access services and perform tasks that require high-power computation.

Mobile Cloud Computing utilizes cloud computing in the mobile internet. It takes the advantage of portability of mobile devices, and uses cloud computing to make up mobile devices' shortcomings, i.e., the capabilities of computation and storage. With the advent of cloud computing, more and more IT companies establish their own cloud computing platforms by using Hadoop, which gradually makes Hadoop a distributed cloud computing platform. By considering important attributes of mobile devices, e.g., low computation workload, high concurrency, and high real-time demand, we propose in this paper a local scheduling algorithm which is based on Hadoop mobile cloud computing, and we analyze the influence of response time and throughput on the system utility.

As the need for super-fast mobile devices incorporating cloud computing technology continues to be the need of the hour, Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC) serves as the platform for mobile users to share data with others, store information on the cloud and also compute using the data. Over the years, the most widely preferred encryption that has proven to be reliable is Attribute Based Encryption (ABE). However, this encryption methodology requires expensive pairing operation which makes it unsuitable for MCC. As a result of this, MCC remains slow in reaching the crowd due to the challenge of resource-constrained mobile devices. To tackle this resource-constraint we propose a novel method of outsourcing operations to resource-rich cloud servers so that the constraint on resources does not hinder proper functioning of the mobile device. There are a number of advantages when data sharing is incorporated with lightweight fine-grain data sharing methodology. This method has a number of advantages such as CCA security level, resisting decryption key exposure and supporting verifiable outsourced decryption. Simulation results indicate that the performance analysis and concrete security proof is apt for MCC environment.

Mobile cloud computing (MCC) is embracing rapid development these days and able to provide data outsourcing and sharing services for cloud users with pervasively smart mobile devices. Although these services bring various conveniences, many security concerns such as illegally access and user privacy leakage are inflicted. Aiming to protect the security of cloud data sharing against unauthorized accesses, many studies have been conducted for fine-grained access control using ciphertext-policy attribute-based encryption (CP-ABE). However, a practical and secure data sharing scheme that simultaneously supports fine-grained access control, large university, key escrow free, and privacy protection in MCC with expressive access policy, high efficiency, verifiability, and exculpability on resource-limited mobile devices has not been fully explored yet. Therefore, we investigate the challenge and propose an Efficient and Multiauthority Large Universe Policy-Hiding Data Sharing (EMA-LUPHDS) scheme. In this scheme, we employ fully hidden policy to preserve the user privacy in access policy. To adapt to large scale and distributed MCC environment, we optimize multiauthority CP-ABE to be compatible with large attribute universe. Meanwhile, for the efficiency purpose, online/offline and verifiable outsourced decryption techniques with exculpability are leveraged in our scheme. In the end, we demonstrate the flexibility and high efficiency of our proposal for data sharing in MCC by extensive performance evaluation.

With the recent advances in cloud computing and the capabilities of mobile devices, the state-of-the-art of mobile computing is at an inflection point, where compute-intensive applications can now run on today's mobile devices with limited computational capabilities. This is achieved by using the communications capabilities of mobile devices to establish high-speed connections to vast computational resources located in the cloud. While the execution scheme based on this mobile-cloud collaboration opens the door to many applications that can tolerate response times on the order of seconds and minutes, it proves to be an inadequate platform for running applications demanding real-time response within a fraction of a second. In this chapter, the authors describe the state-of-the-art in mobile-cloud computing as well as the challenges faced by traditional approaches in terms of their latency and energy efficiency. They also introduce the use of cloudlets as an approach for extending the utility of mobile-cloud computing by providing compute and storage resources accessible at the edge of the network, both for end processing of applications as well as for managing the distribution of applications to other distributed compute resources.

Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC) which combines mobile computing and cloud computing, has become one of the industry ring words and a major conversation thread in the IT world with an explosive development of the mobile applications and emerging of cloud computing idea, the MCC has become a possible technology for the mobile service users. The concepts of Cloud computing are naturally meshed with mobile devices to allow on-the-go functionalities and benefits. The mobile cloud computing is emerging as one of the most important branches of cloud computing and it is expected to expand the mobile ecosystems. As more mobile devices enter the market and evolve, certainly security issues will grow as well. Also, enormous growth in the variety of devices connected to the Internet will further drive security needs. 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.
