The exponential growth in mobile technology has precipitated a substantial increase in global IP traffic, predominantly fueled by mobile devices.Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC) emerges as a viable solution to the inherent resource limitations of these devices, yet the security of data access remains a paramount concern, particularly in the context of dynamic user behavior.This paper introduces an innovative password-based authenticated key exchange protocol tailored for secure communication within MCC frameworks.Existing solutions, while addressing several challenges of MCC, fall short in adequately tackling issues related to dynamic user behavior and resource constraints.The proposed protocol is designed to address these specific deficiencies, thereby enhancing the security of data access in MCC environments.Employing Chaotic Maps for protocol resilience, symmetric encipherment for robust data protection, and one-way hash functions to bolster the security framework, this protocol is rigorously evaluated using the AVISPA tool.The results demonstrate that the protocol offers superior security and efficiency, and exhibits enhanced resilience against a spectrum of attacks compared to existing schemes.A thorough analysis is conducted to evaluate the protocol's defenses against insider threats, replay attacks, and other potential vulnerabilities, providing a comprehensive understanding of its robust security features.Conclusively, this protocol establishes a secure paradigm for key agreements in MCC, outperforming existing schemes with a significant reduction in execution time by up to 60%, marking a notable advancement in the realm of MCC security.
