Abstract:

Security is always a hot research area in the field of mobile cloud computing. Mobile users want to increase their processing and storage capabilities but not at the cost of disclosure in privacy.  ABI Research observed that the increase in mobile cloud computing users is below than the expected growth. International Data Corporation (IDC) exposes the reason of this limited growth with the help of survey. The survey says that the most of business organizations do not adopt these services because of security risks involved. To increase the number of potential mobile cloud computing users, cloud service providers need to resolve the security risks arising from all directions. This paper discusses a novel security framework for mobile cloud computing that utilizes the best features of existing security frameworks. The proposed framework consumes less energy, minimum processing overhead and provides better security services as compare to existing framework discussed in this paper.
