Abstract

The combination of cloud computing and mobile computing introduces mobile cloud computing, which also present new issues of security threats such as unauthorized access to resources exist in mobile cloud. Protecting mobile cloud computing from illegitimate access becomes an important concern to mobile users. This paper proposes and implements a new user authentication mechanism of mobile cloud computing using fingerprint recognition system to enhance mobile cloud computing resources.
