A Survey of Mobile Cloud Computing: Secure Channels Transmission in Mobile Cloud Computing

Mobile cloud is the infrastructure that facilitates the offloading of storage andcomputing resources of mobile devices pertaining mobile applications tocloud computing. Mobile devices can run expensive applications usingmobile cloud as they can outsource services to cloud while providinginterface for mobile users. Emerging mobile applications that are expensivecan overcome the inherent problems of hand held devices through theconcept of mobile cloud computing. The offloading process provide mobilesa rich platform for pervasive computing with on-demand services linked tocloud computing through mobile cloud infrastructure. Thus the mobile cloudcomputing is an inevitable phenomenon which bring about plethora of prosbesides the mobility. The mobile cloud users can perform their resourceintensive operations on the fly without time and geographical restrictions. Inspite of the advantages it bestows mobile cloud computing has its ownsecurity issues. This paper throws light into the security issues and solutionsin terms of secure channels transmission in mobile cloud computing. In thispaper, we present state-of-the-art of mobile cloud computing besides itssecurity aspects that are to be taken care of for successful mobile cloudcomputing.
