With the rapid growth of mobile applications and cloud computing, mobile
cloud computing has attracted great interest from both academia and industry.
However, mobile cloud applications are facing security issues such as data
integrity, users' confidentiality, and service availability. A preventive
approach to such problems is to detect and isolate cyber threats before they
can cause serious impacts to the mobile cloud computing system. In this paper,
we propose a novel framework that leverages a deep learning approach to detect
cyberattacks in mobile cloud environment. Through experimental results, we show
that our proposed framework not only recognizes diverse cyberattacks, but also
achieves a high accuracy (up to 97.11%) in detecting the attacks. Furthermore,
we present the comparisons with current machine learning-based approaches to
demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed solution.
