Mecanismo de Segurança Ciente do Contexto para Computação em Nuvem Móvel.

Abstract

The use and popularity of mobile devices has been growing vertiginously, as well an the cloud computing as instrument to store data and services, making feasible the combination of these two technologies. One of the biggest obstacles is the mobile device’s security and ergonomics to provide security for transporting its data without performance degradation. This work proposes a context-aware security mechanism for mobile devices in cloud computing. In addition, it is used the TLS technology to create a secure channel of data sent between mobile device’s client and the cloud server, authenticating them via public key cryptography. At the same time, it provides an appropriate level of security, and analyses the context of the mobile device from the Fuzzy logic. The impact of the mechanism on the mobile device’s performance were measured through experiments.
