MOBILE CLOUD SYSTEM: SECURITY ENHANCEMENT IN MULTIMEDIA RETRIEVAL VIA MOBILE PHONES

Abstract

There is free media available all over the Internet while most people have no idea about its copyright. Some of those who know perceive it as a minor issue and do not care about it. Most of the people download songs or movies for household entertainment which is fine, but not for those who do it for sale, distribution and manufacture. The users can download the media freely which may have an adverse effect on the media owners. Downloading video files without the permission of the owner is a cyber-crime. Arresting all persons who commit such crime or blocking those sites releasing the media will require complicated and long process to investigate. Hence, strengthening the security issue in video distribution should be practiced. To increase the security of authentication process for the real users, this research proposes the concept of media header file division in Mobile cloud system. The result shows that the proposed mechanism can protect the illegal distribution of media and the transfer period is shorten than general media transfer process.
