A Survey of Security Issues in Mobile Cloud Computing

Abstract

Mobile cloud computing (MCC) has been born out of cloud and mobile computing due to the growing demand for mobile platforms. Over the past few years, MCC related work focused on building the architecture, and in recent years it had conducted major research on MCC’s actual productivity and security issues. For example, intrusion detection system, location-based service, data security, etc., but there is no paper to summarize and study the security issues of the entire MCC. This paper elaborates the security issues of MCC from three levels of MCC and five security aspects, including privacy security, offloading security, authentication security, device security and other security issues. Describe the various levels of security problems and the solutions to those problems. Finally, this paper looks forward to the future development direction of MCC.
