Description
Summary:Cloud Computing (CC) is fast becoming well known in the computing world as the latest technology. CC enables users to use resources as and when they are required. Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC) is an integration of the concept of cloud computing within a mobile environment, which removes barriers linked to the mobile devices' performance. Nevertheless, these new benefits are not problem-free entirely. Several common problems encountered by MCC are privacy, personal data management, identity authentication, and potential attacks. The security issues are a major hindrance in the mobile cloud computing's adaptability. This study begins by presenting the background of MCC including the various definitions, infrastructures, and applications. In addition, the current challenges and opportunities will be presented including the different approaches that have been adapted in studying MCC.
