Propuesta metodológica de evaluación de seguridad para aplicaciones de mobile cloud computing

Abstract

According to the latest Mobility Report by the Swedish manufacturer Ericsson; it is highlighted that by the last quarter of 2015 the total number of mobile lines in the world was 7300 million, which is the same than the number of inhabitants of the Earth; as well as, within the same quarter, 350 million smartphones were sold. This growing trend of Internet access from mobile devices, coupled with the increase of their capabilities and the greater deployment of third and fourth generation networks (3G / 4G Long Term Evolution LTE) over Wi-Fi networks, provide users, A wide range of services and solutions. However, the responsibility for security, personal identification and the evolution of the post-implementation era are three areas in which convergent factors are shown, which Gartner has identified as the nexus of forces for 2020. The increase in smart mobile terminals, as well as increased access to the internet from these devices, together with the needs raised, have given rise to a new concept of mobile computing in the cloud or Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC), which deals with the combination of mobile computing, cloud computing and mobile Internet, where all the advantages of the three are integrated. Therefore, this study intends to carry out an in-depth literature review, which allows us to obtain a security model for applications deployed in Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC) environments, to subsequently is used by an evaluation method that makes use of this model. The validation of this method has been made performed by means of proofs of concept or cases of study of existing applications in which this proposal is applied and that allow to make an evaluation of the same one.
