Security Challenges and Solutions in Mobile Cloud Computing Environments: A Review
Abstract
Abstract:
Mobile cloud computing (MCC) is a rapidly emerging technology that integrates cloud computing into mobile devices. MCC provides a promising approach to satisfy the increasing demands of mobile users for high computing power, storage, data processing. However, the security challenges in MCC are becoming more complex due to the heterogeneity of mobile devices and the distributed nature of cloud services. This review paper discusses the various security challenges that arise in MCC environments, such as data privacy, access control, data integrity, confidentiality. Moreover, this paper provides a comprehensive overview of the recent advances in security solutions to mitigate these challenges.
