Dependable Community-Cloud Framework for Smartphones

Cloud computing enable users to access ubiquitous, on-demand, convenient and shared resource (apps and storage) – as rapidly released by a provider with minimal managed effort. The increased growth of user access to mobile smartphones from 42.5% in 2013 to 78.9% by 2013 and the advent of Androids has made smartphones a preferred choice over PCs due to its design, portability, speed, functionality and Internet access ease – all of which continues to pose significant risk to user data security with high vulnerability to attacks. With its implication to work related functions and biz issues, it exposes sensitive data to adversaries. The study thus, describes a support tool named PushCloud that lets users account the ability to sign-in and perform backup functions on contacts, messages, picture files, documents, videos and recorded voice amongst others. Its other benefit is in the fact that it pools together cloud service providers and allows users a cross platform with minimal price difference. The system helps address security related issue from a user’s end via AES-256 encryption on an integrated cloud model, explores its storage capability to guarantee data recovery with a remote server (BDC) for back- and front-end data storage ease.
