Abstract
The principle constraints of mobile devices are their limited resources such as processing capability, storage space and battery life. While cloud computing offers a vast computing resources services. A new idea emerged by including the cloud computing into mobile devices to augment the capacities of the mobile devices resources such as smartphones, tablet, and other personal digital assistant (PDA) which provides a robust technology called Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC). Although MCC have brought many advantages for the mobile users, it also stills suffer from security and privacy side of data while hosted on virtual machines (VM) on remote cloud’s servers. Currently, the eyes of the security expert’s community turned towards the virtualization-based security technique either on the Cloud or on the mobile devices. The new challenge is to develop secure methods in order to authenticate high sensitive digital content. This paper investigates the main challenges regarding the security and privacy issues in mobile cloud exactly focusing on the virtualization issue layer and give clear strengths and weaknesses of recent relevant virtualization security techniques existing in the literature. Hence, the paper provides perspectives for researchers in order to achieve as a future work.
Highlights
Nowadays, Cloud Computing is an attractive technology that is known to have an increasing importance for users by delivering the services over the Internet
In Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC), the cloud service providers offer the sharing of their resources to the mobile users through one of the popular technique called virtualization that increases the efficiency and effectiveness of hardware utilization [5].Various users’ virtual machines are running on the same cloud host when they share same cloud resources which lead to more additional security risks like violating the data once they share the same memory or CPU[6][7]
The user thin virtual machines communicate with each other to exchange private and sensitive information
Summary
Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC) is considered as an important technology that has grown fast among individual and community of users It combines cloud computing paradigm with mobile devices through wireless technology in order to avoid the devices’ restricts resources capacities and leveraging the cloud computing services offering [2]. In MCC, the cloud service providers offer the sharing of their resources to the mobile users through one of the popular technique called virtualization that increases the efficiency and effectiveness of hardware utilization [5].Various users’ virtual machines are running on the same cloud host when they share same cloud resources which lead to more additional security risks like violating the data once they share the same memory or CPU[6][7]. In the last section, we conclude and present some future work
