Abstract- The growth of mobile cloud computing users is rapid and now many mobile users utilize from mobile cloud computing technology. This technology makes mobile users stronger beyond the mobile computing capabilities. The security risks have become a hurdle in the rapid adaptability of the mobile cloud computing technology. Significant efforts have been devoted in research organizations and academia to securing the mobile cloud computing technology. In this paper we proposed a lightweight and efficient authentication protocol for mobile cloud environment. According to significant advantages of ECC (elliptic curve cryptosystem), it has been adopted through this paper. Our proposed protocol has many advantages such as: supporting user anonymity, identity management and also resistance against related attacks such as replay attack, stolen verifier attack, modification attack, server spoofing attack and so on.
