Secure Data Storage in Mobile Cloud Computing using RSA

Cloud Computing

Generally cloud computing is area where users only use what they required and only pay for what they really use and save the space, money and time too . Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC) refers to an infrastructure where storage & data processing can happen far away from mobile device. A research says that mobile users across the worldwide will reach 7.3 billion by the end of 2014 and more than 8 billion at the end of 2016. Survey by Ericsson also says that mobile users will reach More than 9 billion in 2017. Because of increasing use of mobile phones and various mobile devices the requirement of cloud computing in mobile devices increasing, that give birth to the Mobile Cloud Computing. Mobile devices don’t need to have more storage capacity and powerful Computing and processing speed. But because of storing data on cloud there is a problem of data security. The risk concerned with data storage most Information Technology professionals aren’t showing their interest in Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC).For ensuring the correctness of user’s data on the cloud, we have propose an effective mechanism with some feature of data integrity and data confidentiality. Our mechanism which uses the concept of RSA algorithm and Hash function along with some cryptography tools to provide better security to the data stored on the mobile cloud.
