Secured and Efficient Authentication Scheme for Mobile Cloud
W. Thamba Meshach · 2013
Modern Mobile Architectures are architectures that support mobile device applications connected to decentralized infrastructure. Modern Mobile Architectures combine mobile technology and cloud computing. The biggest challenge in both cloud and mobile technologies right now is security; combine the two technologies and we have a security wormhole. In this paper, we presented the current state of mobile-cloud authentication technology and our proposed system Mobile Cloud Key Exchange (MCKE), an authenticated key exchange scheme that aims at efficient authentication. This scheme is designed based on randomness-reuse strategy and Internet Key Exchange (IKE) scheme. Theoretical analysis and simulation results are compared with the IKE scheme; the MCKE scheme can significantly improve the efficiency by dramatically reducing time consumption and computation load without sacrificing the level of
