Secure policies for the distributed virtual machines in mobile cloud computing

Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC) is a combination of cloud computing and mobile computing through wireless technology in order to overcome mobile devices' resource limitations. In MCC, virtualization plays a key role whereas the cloud resources are shared among many users to help them achieve an e...
