Propuesta Metodológica de Evaluación de Seguridad para Aplicaciones de Mobile Cloud Computing

Mobile devices are increasingly used to perform complex tasks due to technological advances in mobile devices. However, there are issues that limit their use in processes that demand a lot of resources due to their processing limitations, the charge cycle of the battery among others. Hence a suitable option is the use of cloud computing to perform tasks of high complexity and transfer the results to the mobile device. Mobile Cloud Computing has become a good and appropriate solution. Given its adoption in many applications, the issue of security has been considered a critical issue, which is often the main limitation for its massive acceptance. This paper proposes a methodology for evaluating mobile applications based on cloud computing platforms. To do so, we propose a quality model based on the characteristics of ISO/IEC 25010, and designed finally a formal methodology with the help of the SPEM 2 (Software & System Process Engineering Meta-Model Specification V2.0) notation. This article can be of support when carrying out security studies in this area.
