Introduction

 Cloud computing allows sharing of information

without users investing too much money in under- used resources

 Many people own mobile devices  Mobile Cloud Computing allows access to data where

there is no data center

 Demonstrate application of an educational scenario  Security measures are necessary

Importance of Research

 Mobile clouds would be

useful for people on the go

 To make the clouds more

practical, security needs to be present

 K12 and Higher Education

require high security measure for delivery, availability and confidentiality in virtual education environment

 Software for education

doesn't need to be installed

• n every computer

Research Questions

 How do we ensure that services are available to all users

across the globe?

 How do we maintain privacy and ensure that the end users

maintain their privacy since their data may be stored in a mobile cloud environment rather than their personal device?

 What affect will mobile cloud computing have on the

performance of obtaining internet services (availability, attacks and speed of access) due to the increased traffic?

Mobile Cloud Computing Web Server and Storage Using Android Mobile Servers

Background

http://www2.servesman.net/ w.b.fuller-node

Mobile Cloud Users

FreeBit Co Ltd Serversman Mobile Application

• Cloud Webserver
• Cloud Storage

WebDAV

• Remote Cloud Server Access
• Backup Cloud Storage
• Webhosting
• Cloud Resource Management
• Cloudswitch Technology

Methodology

Tools

 Hardware

 Android smartphone  Android tablet

 Software

 Serversman@Android 2.0β  WebDAV (Web-based

Distributed Authoring and Versioning)

Procedure

 Cloud environment will be replicated

by installing Serversman on the phone

 WebDAV will be installed on the

tablet and linked to Serversman

 Security measures (delivery,

availability of information and confidentiality) will be configured into the mobile cloud

 Prototype educational tool will be

deployed in a cloud environment.

 Testing of various cloud actions on 2

devices will be done.

Software Utilized

 Serversman enables users to share and

publish data for Android phones via the Internet

 Access phone data through browsers  Delivers a “cloud server in your pocket”

 WebDAV facilitates collaboration between

users in editing and managing documents and files stored on web servers

 Remote access and backup storage

Results

 Actual experimentation hasn’t happened due to

hardware failure

 Tools were recently fixed  To maintain privacy, have a login  Identified scenarios: education and translation

Summary

 Incorporation of security measures in a mobile cloud

environment that provides educational services

 Mobile cloud has been developed in prior work but

security isn’t present

 A cloud computing environment made from mobile

devices will be improved, tested, and documented

 Practical scenarios for where this kind of environment

can be used have also been identified

Future Work

 Experimenting with how to encrypt data  Use a mobile cloud for translation in foreign countries
