Security in CloneCloud for Mobile Cloud Computing

Mobile Cloud Computing is an emerging technology in IT world. With the increasing demand of mobile users in terms of security, resources and computing power leads to necessity of accessing cloud resources in mobile device. Though there are some limitations in smartphones such as limited computing power and energy resources as compared to desktops. CloneCloud can be used as a solution to migrate the applications from mobile device to the clone over cloud. This will speed up the execution and reduce energy consumption in smartphones. There is a need to secure the communication that taken place in this scenario. For this purpose, proposed solution with elliptic curve cryptography and blowfish will ensure confidentiality and authentication between mobile device and clone server. Elliptic curve cryptography and blowfish have better performance in resource constrained devices. We have integrated modifications for blowfish to enhance the security.
