Mobile cloud Computing is a new emerging technology. This technology supports many applications and one such application is presence enabled application. Mobile presence server is the main component in presence enabled applications and they provide presence services to all mobile users in the network. As number of mobile user increases to a great extent there arises buddy list search problem. In-order to solve this problem a scalable server architecture called presence cloud has been introduced. To provide security to the above server architecture SSL protocol is used. The performance is evaluated by using the parameters such as search latency and response time. SSL protocol involves determination and exchange of keys which increases buddy list search delay and response time. Therefore SSL session resumption is used to decrease this searching time and response time.

“…RELATED WORK Sheldon, Weber, Yoo and Pan [1] described how the wireless LAN encryption standards such as WEP, WPA/WPA2 are vulnerable to attack. They presented some of the attacks on encryption standards such as Chop-chop attack, Brute force, Beck-Tews, Halvorsen-Haugen and the hole 196 attacks etc.…”

“…WPA uses the same encryption algorithm (RC4) used in WEP but improved by the use of a 48 bit temporary key integrity protocol (TKIP) sequence counter (TSC) instead of WEP's 24 bit key. Moreover, the 64 bit message integrity check (MIC) algorithm named Michael is used to ensure integrity [1]. Furthermore, to improve user authentication and access control, WPA uses the extensible authentication protocol (EAP) and the IEEE 802.1x standard port based access control.…”

“…This method uses the Radius (Remote Authentication Dial-in User Service) server to authenticate each user on the network [8]. In the www.ijacsa.thesai.org absence of a Radius server, it uses a pre-shared key (PSK), which is called WPA-PSK or WPA-Personal and is mostly used in small-offices and by home users [1].…”

“…This necessarily exposes layer 1 and layer 2 to whoever can listen into the RF ranges on the network. Wireless insecurity has been a critical issue since Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP), an IEEE standard security algorithm for wireless networks, was compromised [1]. To address the significant security flaws in the WEP standard, the Wi-Fi alliance developed the 802.11i standard, called Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) and WPA2 [1].…”

Abstract-Wireless LANs are everywhere these days from home to large enterprise corporate networks due to the ease of installation, employee convenience, avoiding wiring cost and constant mobility support. However, the greater availability of wireless LANs means increased danger from attacks and increased challenges to an organization, IT staff and IT security professionals. This paper discusses the various security issues and vulnerabilities related to the IEEE 802.11 Wireless LAN encryption standard and common threats/attacks pertaining to the home and enterprise Wireless LAN system and provide overall guidelines and recommendation to the home users and organizations.
