Mobile cloud computing has grown out of two hot technology trends, mobility and cloud. The emergence of cloud computing and its extension into the mobile domain creates the potential for a global, interconnected mobile cloud computing environment that will allow the entire mobile ecosystem to enrich their services across multiple networks. We can utilize significant optimization and increased operating power offered by cloud computing to enable seamless and transparent use of cloud resources to extend the capability of resource constrained mobile devices. However, in order to realize mobile cloud computing, we need to develop mechanisms to achieve interoperability among heterogeneous and distributed devices. We need solutions to discover best available resources in the cloud servers based on the user demands and approaches to deliver desired resources and services efficiently and in a timely fashion to the mobile terminals. Furthermore, while mobile cloud computing has tremendous potential to enable the mobile terminals to have access to powerful and reliable computing resources anywhere and anytime, we must consider several issues including privacy and security, and reliability in realizing mobile cloud computing. In this chapter, the authors first explore the architectural components required to realize a mobile cloud computing infrastructure. They then discuss mobile cloud computing features with their unique privacy and security implications. They present unique issues of mobile cloud computing that exacerbate privacy and security challenges. They also discuss various approaches to address these challenges and explore the future work needed to provide a trustworthy mobile cloud computing environment.

The adoption of mobile cloud computing (MCC) in education systems still faces several obstacles due to technical, environmental, psychological, and individual issues. Considering numerous advantages associated with the adoption of MCC, this article evaluates the frequency of using MCC by students at King Abdul-Aziz University (KAU) and investigates the factors that influence student intention to use MCC. A survey approach has been used to include 163 students of KAU through a random sampling. Results showed that the attitude towards MCC, perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, social influence, accessibility of technology, individual characteristics, perceived privacy, and security are all important determinants of intention to use MCC. Findings contribute towards research and practice by revealing crucial factors that impact student intention to adopt mobile cloud computing in developing countries.

The quantity and popularity of mobile cloud computing services have increased significantly. From the principal-agent perspective, this study proposes a model to determine the adoption of mobile cloud computing services. In the model, three uncertainty antecedents of mobile cloud computing utilization are included: fears of service provider opportunism, perceived information asymmetry, and information privacy and security concerns. Likewise, three motivators are included: trust, convenience, and social presence. Based on 263 observations of mobile cloud computing users, the study identifies that trust and convenience are motivators and perceived uncertainty is a mitigator for adopting mobile cloud computing services.

Mobile cloud computing is computing of Mobile application through cloud. Now days, market of mobile phones is growing rapidly. According to IDC, the premier global market intelligence firm, the worldwide Smartphone market grew 42.5% year over year in the first quarter of 2012.With the growing demand of Smartphone the demand for fast computation is also growing. In spite of comparatively more processing power and storage capability of Smartphone’s, they still lag behind Personal Computers in meeting processing and storage demands of high end applications like speech recognition, security software, gaming, health services etc. Mobile cloud computing is an answer to intensive processing and storage demand of real-time and high end applications. Mobile cloud is most emerging factor in this century. Being in nascent stage, Mobile Cloud Computing has privacy and security issues which deter the users from adopting this technology. Privacy and security is the most important factors in mobile cloud. This paper mainly explains about both of them. This review paper throws light on privacy and security issues of Mobile Cloud Computing.

Privacy Issues

Security is one of the main concerns of those who want to adopt and migrate to cloud computing technology. Security issues raised by cloud technology reveals that mobile cloud computing is raising the privacy and security issues such as identification and authentication issue, as sometimes the identity and the authentication of the owner of the device or the owner of the data contained in the cloud was not strictly remote. These are some examples that could be considered as major setbacks to the mobile cloud computing adaptation and the reason why some entities are still reluctant of embracing, adopting and migrating to this technology. This research reviews the phenomenon of mobile cloud computing, and the security and privacy issues intrinsic within the area of mobile application and cloud computing with more emphasis on the security and privacy considerations to embrace and migrate to Mobile Cloud Computing.
