Lipika Goel, Vivek Jain . A Review on Security Issues and Challenges of Mobile Cloud Computing and Preventive Measures. International Conference on Advances in Computer Engineering and Applications. ICACEA, 5 (March 2014), 22-27.
Cloud computing is a set of IT services that are provided to a customer over a network on a leased basis and with the ability to scale up or down their service requirements [1]. Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC) is a revolution in the field of mobile world. Mobile cloud computing is the combination of cloud computing and mobile networks to bring benefits for mobile users, network operators, as well as providers of cloud computing. It advantages to mention but a few include scalability, resilience, efficiency, flexibility and many other. Despite the potential gains achieved from the mobile cloud computing, the people are slow in accepting it due to security issues and challenges associated with it. Security is one of the major issues which hamper the growth of cloud. This paper introduces a detailed analysis of the mobile cloud computing security issues and challenges focusing on the computing types and the service delivery types [1]. It also presents the various ways of preventing the security issues.
