Abstract

Cloud usage has become a reality in users' everyday habits (even if sometimes unconsciously), and security and privacy issues in this context have already been subject of consideration by scientific, business and policy-makers communities. However, the increasing use of mobile phones, and, generally speaking mobile smart devices, to access the Cloud, introduced recently in the area the concept of Mobile Cloud. Scope of this paper is to address the security and privacy aspects of the mobile cloud phenomenon, under the citizen perspective, taking as driving example the context of commercial mobile transactions.JRC.G.7 - Digital Citizen Securit
