At the same time, Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC) is also gaining its popularity among its users. It has brought in a great revolution in itself. In mobile cloud computing, mobile devices can depend on cloud computing and information storage resources to perform computationally intensive operations such as searching, data mining and multimedia processing. Often the mobile users prefer the latest and the best technology which is cost effective and value for money. Mobile cloud storage enables users to remotely store their data and enjoy the on–demand high quality Cloud applications without the burden of local hardware and software environment. In spite of the hype achieved by mobile cloud computing, the growth the mobile cloud computing subscribers is still below expectations. This study is based on existing literature, highlights the current state of the work proposed to secure mobile cloud computing infrastructure.
