Cloud computing is a popular technology that provides services to the users on demand and on pay-per-usage fee that is they only pay for the data utilized when required. With the vast growth in the use of mobile phone applications, the users are relying on their phones for their personal as well as professional work and suffering from many problems (storage, processing, security etc). To overcome these limitations and growth in the use of cloud applications, a new development area has emerged recently called as Mobile cloud computing. Mobile cloud computing is an integration of three technologies cloud computing, mobile computing and internet, enabling the users to access the services at any time and from any place. Mobile phones are sensitive devices and the personal data is not secured when user stores data on cloud and can be easily attacked by unauthorized person. This paper presents a high level authentication and encryption model through a mobile application that encrypts the data before moving it to the cloud that ensures the security and the strong user authentication.

Security in wireless network is one of the prime concern in today's Information Age, where information is an asset not only to an organisation but also to an individual. Security to a great extent is able to protect the network from various unauthorized attacks. On the other side implementation of security mechanisms also causes an overhead in terms of increased load in the network. Further the increased load in the network paves path to congestion which degrades the performance of the wireless network. In this paper we try to highlight various challenges pertaining to security in mesh networks and the ways of reducing security threats. We propose an improved version of AODV which has a congestion avoidance mechanism. We also use a security technique called PGP for enhanced security of Mesh network.
