Abstract: Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC) has a significant potential to provide scalability, reliability, extra battery life, and additional storage capacity. Due to the flexible infrastructure and simplicity of access, cloud computing has become widespread. Energy consumption and execution time have also considerably enhanced by shifting the execution of resources consuming tasks that bring the benefit to mobile users. However, security and privacy is the major barrier to this growing trend of computing aptitude. Noteworthy efforts have already been made by the academic and research organizations to build secure computing infrastructures but various challenges are stay alive in security procedure of MCC. This manuscript provides a broad analysis of confidentiality and security challenges in mobile cloud computing and also discusses how to overcome these loopholes.
