Secure Data Storage in Mobile Cloud Computing
Preeti Garg, Vineet Sharma · 2013
In cloud computing highly scalable computing resources are supplied as an outer service through internet on pay-as-usability basis. Portio research [1] estimates that mobile subscribers will reach 6.5 billion by the end of 2012, 6.9 billion by the end of 2013. Due to increasing use of mobile devices the requirement of cloud computing in mobile devices arise, which gave birth to Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC). Mobile Cloud Computing refers to an infrastructure where data processing and storage can happen away from mobile device. Mobile devices do not need to have large storage capacity and powerful CPU speed. Due to storing data on cloud there is an issue of data security. Because of the risk associated with data storage many IT professionals are not showing their interest towards Mobile Cloud Computing. This paper explores: (i) The concept of Mobile Cloud Computing and issues associated in it (ii) Security of data stored in cloud with various mechanisms (iii) Proposed a possible solution to provide confidentiality, access control as well as integrity of data.
