It involves the usage of mobile devices and cloud computing to perform resource intensive tasks using the internet with minimum impact on cellular resources. Nowadays, people are relying on mobile devices due to their small size and user friendly interface but due to its limited storage capacity, people can no more rely on internal RAM. Therefore, this promotes a drastic need for technology to make it possible for anyone to access their data anywhere anytime. As a result, Mobile Cloud Computing facilitates mobile users with its enticing technology by providing its on-demand and scalable services. But privacy and security are the main concern for a mobile user in the modern era. Thus, issues regarding security can be divided into cloud security and mobile network user's security, respectively. However, the primary focus of this study is to analyze how to secure the user's data in a mobile cloud. Leading to objectives, the current study presents a comprehensive analysis of existing techniques that can be considered for securing data in MCC efficiently. Moreover, this work will contribute a state-of-the-art roadmap to research and development communities for the right selection of proposed approach.

A mobile user uses LBS to access services relevant to their locations. LBS usage raises severe privacy concerns. A secure LBS system is required to protect three fundamentals metrics such as temporal information, user identity, and spatial information. Different models are being used to deal with such privacy metrics such as TTP and NTTP. In current study, we have conducted a comprehensive survey on TTP privacy protecting techniques which are being used in LBS systems. Primarily, it would be facilitating the mobile users with full privacy when they interact with the LBS system. Moreover, it is aimed to provide a promising roadmap to research and development communities for right selection of privacy approach.

But privacy is the main concern for a mobile user in the modern era. In the current study, we address the privacy challenges faced by mobile users while outsourcing their data to the service provider for storage and processing. However, a secure mobile user is required to protect these fundamental privacy factors such as their personal data, real identity, current location and the actual query sent to the cloud vendor server while availing different cloud services. Under these privacy metrics, we evaluated the existing approaches that are counting privacy challenge in mobile cloud computing. The primary focus of this study is to presents a critical survey of recent privacy protection techniques. Leading to objective, the current study conduct a comparative analysis of these state of the art methods with their strong points, privacy level and scalability. After analysis, this paper suggests the pseudo-random permutation method could be a promising solution that can be taken into consideration for preserving user personal information and data query privacy in MCC more efficiently. Primarily, the purpose of the survey was to focus on further advancements of the suggested method. Furthermore, we present the future research directions in the mobile cloud computing paradigms.

The use of simulation tools has been gaining popularity in the domain of LBS systems, where researchers take advantage of simulators for evaluating the behavior and performance of new architecture design. This popularity results from the availability of various powerful and sophisticated LBS simulators that are continuously verifying the flexibility of proposed models of LBS research projects. Despite its popularity worldwide, there is still a problem for researchers to choose the best simulator according to their needs and requirements, which provide them accurate results. Furthermore, conducting research on the physical LBS environment for individuals or small educational institutes is very challenging due to the cost involved in setting up location-based services live. Therefore, for selecting an appropriate LBS simulator, it is important to have knowledge of simulators that are currently available along with their features and selection criteria considered for conducting research in a particular type of problems in the LBS system. In the current study, we have presented various simulators that provide a cost-effective way of conducting LBS research projects. This paper compares 10 simulators to help researchers and developers for selecting the most appropriate simulation tool depending on selection criteria. Moreover, a detailed discussion with the recommendation for best practice in LBS simulation tools is also included in this paper, which would surely help new researchers to quickly identify the most suitable simulator according to their research problem.

LBS System offers location-based services by knowing the actual user position. A mobile user uses LBS to access services relevant to their locations. In order to provide Point of Interest (POI), LBS confronts numerous privacy related challenges in three different formats including Non-Trusted Third Party (NTTP), Trusted Third Party (TTP), and Mobile Peer-to-Peer (P2P). The current study emphasized the TTP based LBS system where the Location server does not provide full privacy to mobile users. In TTP based LBS system, a user's privacy is concerned with personal identity, location information, and time information. In order to accomplish privacy under these concerns, state-of-the-art existing mechanisms have been reviewed. Hence, the aim to provide a promising roadmap to research and development communities for the right selection of privacy approach has achieved by conducting a comparative survey of the TTP based approaches. Leading to these privacy attributes, the current study addressed the privacy challenge by proposing a new privacy protection model named "Improved Dummy Position" (IDP) that protects TIP (Time, Identity, and Position) attributes under TTP LBS System. In order to validate the privacy level, a comparative analysis has been conducted by implementing the proposed IDP model in the simulation tool, Riverbed Modeler academic edition. The different scenarios of changing query transferring rate evaluate the performance of the proposed model. Simulation results demonstrate that our IDP could be considered as a promising model to protect user's TIP attributes in a TTP based LBS system due to better performance and improved privacy level. Further, the proposed model extensively compared with the existing work.

Above all, the usage of LBS raises numerous privacy issues. There are three ways to provide privacy including Non-Trusted Third Party (NTTP), Trusted Third Party (TTP) and Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks. In current research, we studied different privacy provisioning techniques using TTP LBS System and consider Dummy Position approach for our research objectives. We proposed Improved Dummy Position (IDP) system model to protect TIP (Time, Identity, and Position). To authenticate this model, we performed simulation using Riverbed Modeler. Thus, simulation results support the effectiveness of our IDP model.
