In today's digital environment security and privacy of personal information becomes important as an increasing percentage of the population makes daily usage of both mobile devices and cloud storage. Security and assurance of mobile computing is vital to both the normal functioning in people's lives as well as our social, economic and political systems. In this paper we propose and implement a mobile cloud storage system that authenticates users using a gesture based password, and stores private information securely in the cloud using the Amazon Simple Secure Storage Service (Amazon S3). Our solution makes use of the AES and SHA-1 algorithms to protect data, while also making use of SSL to transfer data between the mobile device and the Amazon S3 buckets.
