Energy Efficient and Secure Offloading using Mobile Cloud Computing | Original Article

ABSTRACT:

Advancements in mobile computing technology have changed the user preferences. Smart mobile devices have limited memory capacity, CPU speed and battery back-up time. The mobile cloud computing provides computational offloading to migrate the intensive task from smart mobile devices to cloud. Task offloading is vulnerable to certain risks. To enhance the security on task offloading, we propose a hybrid approach that renders the request generated by mobile application and change the structure of original code of data using code mixing and dead code insertion method. The approach makes the original code harder, unreadable and difficult to reverse-engineer. Based on our analysis, the obfuscation is able to increase the complexity of the code, confidentiality and integrity during computational offloading on clouds via mobiles agent. As an outcome the proposed frame work will be able to save battery consumption and noticeable amount of execution time in a secure channel.
