摘要：The development of cloud computing and mobility,mobile cloud computing has emerged and become a focus of research. By the means of on-demand self-service and extendibility, it can offer the infrastructure, platform, and software services in a cloud to mobile users through the mobile network. Security and privacy are the key issues for mobile cloud computing applications, and still face some enormous challenges. In order to facilitate this emerging domain, we firstly in brief review the advantages and system model of mobile cloud computing, and then pay attention to the security and privacy in the mobile cloud computing. MCC provides a platform where mobile users make use of cloud services on mobile devices. The use of MCC minimizes the performance, compatibility, and lack of resources issues in mobile computing environment. By deeply analyzing the security and privacy issues from three aspects: mobile terminal, mobile network and cloud, we give the current security and privacy approaches. The users of MCC are still below expectations because of the associated risks in terms of security and privacy. These risks are playing important role by preventing the organizations to adopt MCC environment. Significant amount of research is in progress in order to reduce the security concerns but still a lot work has to be done to produce a security prone MCC environment. This paper presents a comprehensive literature review of MCC and its security issues,challenges and possible solutions for the security issues.
