Exposing Security Risks for Commercial Mobile Devices

摘要: Recent advances in the hardware capabilities of mobile hand-held devices have fostered development open source operating systems and a wealth applications for phones tablet devices. This new generation smart devices, including iPhone Google Android, are powerful enough to accomplish most user tasks previously requiring personal computer. Moreover, access Personally Identifiable Information (PII) from full suite sensors such as GPS, camera, microphone others. In this paper, we discuss security threats that stem these device online application markets These include malware, data exfiltration, exploitation through USB, tracking. We present our ongoing research efforts defend or mitigate impact attacks against Our approaches involve analyzing code binaries applications, kernel-level encryption, controlling communication mechanisms synchronizing contents with computers other updates version system over USB. also explain emerging challenges dealing issues when end-goal is deploy security-enhanced into military tactical scenarios.
