Abstract: The rapid growth of mobile cloud computing has significantly transformed how data and services are accessed and utilized. However, the inherent security vulnerabilities in mobile cloud environments necessitate robust authentication mechanisms to protect sensitive information and ensure secure communication. This research article explores the implementation and effectiveness of message digest-based authentication protocols in securing mobile cloud computing. By leveraging cryptographic hash functions, these protocols provide lightweight and efficient authentication, suitable for resource-constrained mobile devices. The study evaluates various message digest algorithms, discusses their strengths and weaknesses, and presents a novel framework for enhancing mobile cloud security.
