Integration of wireless hand-held devices with the cloud architecture : Security and privacy issues

• Use of wireless hand held devices like mobile, PDA, laptop etc. is increasing rapidly. Many advanced users want more functionality with these wireless devices to manage their daily schedule. But most of the wireless hand-held devices have limited resource capability for robust functionality. Therefore cloud computing environment could be an alternative solution for these devices to support resource consuming applications. If the wireless hand held device is connected with the cloud, user can use more resource consuming applications and private data (stored in the cloud) from those devices. But privacy and security of the personal information and data make the user concern for using the cloud. The aim of the paper is to identify the security and privacy related risks and threats of the mass users as well as corporate users, if the wireless hand-held devices will be integrated with the cloud.
