A mobile cloud middleware for data storage and integrity

Abstract

Thanks to the improvement of the wireless communication technology, mobile devices have played a crucial role in the people's lives. Mobile Cloud Computing refers to an infrastructure where data processing and storage happen outside the mobile device. Despite this, data storage and data sharing are not fully supported by the mobile devices because of their limitations like the limited storage capacity, and the processing ability in addition to the huge amount of available data. In this paper, we present a new mobile cloud middleware, which aims to provide the mobile clients with an extendible storage area and data integrity service. The evaluation of the system shows that it is able to serve a large number of simultaneous users along with the ability of providing the mobile users with correct data.
