Securing Data using Touch Stroke Authentication in the Mobile Cloud

摘要

Mobile Cloud Computing is the rapidly growing technology in the field of Information Technology, which enables the users to rapidly get connected to the Cloud using Smart phones. Security is identified as a major issue of concern in the implementation of Mobile Cloud. One major security problem in the implementation of Mobile Cloud is the Authentication of user, who wishes to connect to the Cloud. Integrity and Confidentiality of data and user have to be given highest importance, without negotiating the user convenience provided by the Smart phones. This paper gives an overview of the Mobile cloud computing concepts, the related security issues and then proposes a secure touch stroke based Authentication method for M-learning application in the Mobile Cloud.
