Abstract

MCC integrates cloud computing services into the mobile environment that helps users to improve performance by utilizing battery life and storage of devices. When mobile data is stored on cloud rather than in mobile phone storage then less memory and less battery will be consumed by mobile phone and it will helps to increases the performance of data transmission but at same time it violates security of data. As data is transmitted from mobile to cloud at the mean time there are lots of attackers presented in open environment that may access or harm the data. To overcome this kind of hazards it is necessary to propose a mechanism that provides secure data transmission in MCC. In this paper an attempt has been made to perform assessment on different security threats and their prevention models with different scenarios. This paper is divided into six sections. Section 1 presents introduction of mobile cloud computing (mcc), Sect. 2 covers deployment models of mcc, in Sect. 3 service models of mcc has been discussed, Sect. 4 presents different kinds of attacks in mcc environment, in Sect. 5 covers related work of different research papers that presents security issues and detection techniques in mcc, in Sect. 6 conclusion of paper has been discussed.
