Sheikh Kashif Ahmed, Sriram Yadav · 2013
Abstract — One of the newer operating system for smart phone is android which is gaining huge popularity. Advancement in computing speed, memory and hardware had lead to development of new applications. These applications make life more comfortable and advanced for the users. Some of these applications often deal with sensitive and secret data. Users often place certain important and personal data inside smart phone memory. Most of smart phone existing security mechanism such as password, pattern, encryption, etc. are not much effective as computations are usually done on device itself. A two tier security using cloud architecture for android smart phones is being proposed without significant changes in underlying technology. Complex encryption algorithm and other security policies will be implemented on cloud which will improve security
