Analysis on Privacy Protection in Cloudlet and Edge Technology

Abstract

Nowadays smart phones and smart devices are now become a part of our everyday life. Smart phones are now become a powerful to provide the real time different services to user based on cloud computing. From past few years use of smart phone are drastically increased to use, real time services over the cloud such as health, business, banking, online games, social networking, news etc.. To use these services require more power to process the data as well as long running battery life and storage capacity. To use real data for analysis or process, available resources on smart phones are limited. Mobile cloud computing is used to offload the data over the cloud for processing which overcome the limitations of resources. Smart phones are directly connected to the cloud using the Wi-Fi to process the data having the limitations of battery life, network bandwidth as well as network latencies. To overcome these drawbacks new three tier architecture is introduced based on cloudlets to process the data. To prevent the unauthorized access and securing the wireless communication as well as protect device and the user private data over the cloud and cloudlet it need to develop the protocol.Aim of this article is to review the different techniques, models and implementation related to data protections techniques proposed by different researchers to secure smart phone as well as data over the cloudlet and Edge Computing.
