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.

Mobile cloud computing (MCC) combines cloud computing and mobile internet to improve the computational capabilities of resource-constrained mobile devices (MDs). In MCC, mobile users could not only improve the computational capability of MDs but also save operation consumption by offloading the mobile applications to the cloud. However, MCC faces the problem of energy efficiency because of time-varying channels when the offloading is being executed. In this paper, we address the issue of energy-efficient scheduling for wireless uplink in MCC. By introducing Lyapunov optimization, we first propose a scheduling algorithm that can dynamically choose channel to transmit data based on queue backlog and channel statistics. Then, we show that the proposed scheduling algorithm can make a tradeoff between queue backlog and energy consumption in a channel-aware MCC system. Simulation results show that the proposed scheduling algorithm can reduce the time average energy consumption for offloading compared to the existing algorithm.

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.

Cloud computing is a general concept in which services do not depend on the end users' physical locations or configuration of their systems that deliver the services. The purpose of cloud computing is to merge several low cost computing units to one higher level system with strong computing ability. Cloud computing for mobile devices is a very appealing and potentially lucrative trend. This paper will consider privacy and other concerns related to cloud computing. These issues could cause a barrier to widespread use of mobile cloud computing and methods for resolving these issues could accelerate its adoption.

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.

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.
