Abstract

Cloud computing emerges as a way to dynamically increase the capacity or capabilities in infrastructure architectures, software delivery, and development models. However, security is one of the major issues with mobile applications as they can be attacked by malicious users which reduces the growth of cloud computing and complications with data privacy and data protection. In this paper, a mobile-based security agent is presented which provides security mechanisms to security agents as well as hosts. This type of security agent is significant in providing security mechanism to security risks in cloud computing due to its ability to migrate from one host to another where it can resume its processing and service provisioning. Additionally, some of the current attacks are created that attackers may initiate. A fault tolerance at a high level was enabled for mobile-based distributed transaction processing in the cloud. The results show that most of the attack messages were detected and identified, and the type of attack was identified within a specific period of time.
