A Brief Review of Mobile Cloud Computing Opportunities

Cloud Computing (CC) is b ecoming popular as the latest technology in the infrastructure of the computing world. The CC allows the users to m ake use of th e resources when n eeded. Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC ) combines the cloud computin g concept into a mobile setting and m anages to deter b arriers associated with performance of the mobile devices. However, this does not m ean that there are no problem s with thes e new advantages. MCC encounter some co mmon security issues include personal data management, privacy, identity authentication, and potential attacks. The security problems are major obstacle in the mobile cl oud computing paradigm’s swift adaptability. This study initially provides the background to MCC, which includes definitions, infrastructure and its appl ications. Furthermore, the different advantages of MCC will be highlighted in the study.
