DCSP-MC: dependable cloud-based storage platform for mobile computing

Abstract

Recently, mobile devices have become more and more important in people's daily lives. Due to the data inflation and natural limitations of mobile devices, such as limited storage space and computing capability, data storage and sharing have become urgent issues in mobile computing environments. In this paper, we implement a lightweight cloud-based storage framework, which provides an easy-to-use file navigation service for attribute-based file querying or semantic-based data retrieving. In addition, it incorporates an effective mechanism for users to verify their data integrity, which can relieve much burden from mobile devices. Experimental evaluations show that the proposed framework is effective to provide flexible and reliable data sharing in mobile computing environments.
