Secure and strong mobile cloud authentication

Mobile cloud computing has dual benefits that includes cloud computing and mobile computing. In mobile cloud computing data storage and data processing take place outside the mobile device. As a result, there is a high chance of security attack. The security even becomes more critical when mobile phone is initiating the handoff during handover management process. Thus, the attacker may easily get access to our sensitive data. Due to this the malicious user may see or modify our data. In order to overcome this problem, we need to store our data in clouds in a secured manner. In this paper, we propose a secure and strong authentication (SSA) process that stores the key at different cloud servers. This process provides strong authentication. Greencloud is used to validate the process. The results confirm that our proposed SSL protects the mobile cloud computing from malicious activities.
