Development of Secure Framework in Mobile Cloud Computing Using AES-HMAC Encryption Approach

The confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data and services in mobile cloud environments are crucially supported by security algorithms for Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC). This research paper presents a new framework for data encryption and integrity checking in an MCC environment called AES-HMAC (Advanced Encryption Standard- Hash-based Message Authentication Code). In a mobile cloud environment, this setup offers an excellent framework for protecting data while it is in transmission and at rest. While HMAC creates a hash-based message security code using a cryptographic hash method and a secret key to assure the validity and integrity of the data, AES assures that data is encrypted using a symmetric encryption technique. To evaluate the algorithms’ efficiency in protecting private medical data, we simulated MCC security systems using the CloudSim simulator while processing a range of healthcare dataset. AES-HMAC can beat standalone AES, DES encryption and hash algorithms in terms of response time, error rate, and latency.
