The ABI Research believes that the number of mobile cloud computing users is expected to grow from 42.8 million (1.1% of total mobile users) in 2008 to 998 million (19% of total mobile users) in 2014. The security risks have become a hurdle in the rapid adaptability of the mobile cloud computing technology. Significant efforts have been devoted in research organizations and academia to securing...

Cloud computing confers strong economic advantages, but many clients are reluctant to implicitly trust a third-party cloud provider. To address these security concerns, data may be transmitted and stored in encrypted form. Major challenges exist concerning the aspects of the generation, distribution, and usage of encryption keys in cloud systems, such as the safe location of keys, and serving t...

As mobile users generally access different types of mobile cloud computing services from a variety of service providers, it is extremely tedious for users to register different user accounts on each service provider and maintain corresponding private keys or passwords for authentication usage. In this paper, I propose a encryption method call Attribute encryption method. Cloud computing is a re...

Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC) is a combination of Cloud computing and mobile networks. It is a technique or model in which mobile applications are built, powered and hosted using cloud computing technology. Users expect to run computational intensive applications on Smart Mobile Devices (SMDs) in the same way as powerful primary or mainframe computers. However, SMDs are still low potential compu...
