Multi-clouds Mobile Computing for the Secure Storage of Data

Using a mobile device to store sensitive data is not recommended, because of the high possibility of losing or thieving these data, although, neither using single cloud as a storage service is not proper solution for number of reasons, for instance, the data could be captured while uploaded to the cloud, and the data could be stolen from the cloud via using stolen ID. In this paper, we propose an approach that aims to offer a secure data storage for mobile cloud computing users based on multi-clouds scheme. The proposed approach will take the advantages of multi-clouds, data cryptography, and data compression to secure the distributed data, by splitting the data into segments, encrypting the segments, compressing the segments, distributing the segments via multi-clouds while keeping one segment on the mobile device memory, which will prevent extracting the data if the distributed segments have been phished.
