V. RELATED WORKS
The work presented in this paper is rooted in the following
two main research directions: (1) securing mobile cloud
computing; (2) API security.
Mobile cloud computing has been introduced in
[5][10][6][32] which discussed general security issues and
solutions of mobile cloud computing. [20] is survey on
securing mobile cloud computing which covers network
security, data security, and cloud security in mobile cloud
computing. Moreover, it described and compared various
mobile cloud computing security framework. However, the
important aspect - API security of mobile cloud computing is
not discussed.
There are a lot of research literatures and books on SOAP
based API web service security. Since this paper focuses on
REST API, we will not list them. [30][32] discuss REST API
