An Efficient Search Scheme over Encrypted Data on Mobile Cloud

Abstract

Cloud storage is currently a trending technology owing to huge storage provided at negligible cost. Cloud services are prone to attacks due to lack of centralized control. To maintain data security and privacy, data should be stored in an encrypted format on cloud storage. Mobile Cloud Storage (MCS) provides storage solutions to mobile device users by enabling storage and retrieval of data on cloud through wireless communication. MCS incurs new challenges due to limitation of mobile devices in terms of bandwidth, computational capability and payable traffic fee.
