Security Issues

Now a day’s mobile communication has become a serious business tool for the users. Mobile devices are mainly used for the applications like banking, e-commerce, internet access, entertainment, etc. for communication. This has become common for the user to exchange and transfer the data. However people are still facing problems to use mobile devices because of its security issue. This paper deals with various security issues in mobile computing. It also covers all the basic points which are useful in mobile security issues such as categorisation of security issues, methods or tactics for success in security issues in mobile computing, security frameworks.

These days, peoples expected to move around carrying their mobile devices, talking to friends, completing their work, accessing emails etc. His/her pictures, work, study, even relationship (friends, and family) all is in the mobile device. Therefore, mobile devices (especially smart phones) become an ideal target for different attacks. Mobile computing also becomes important in enterprises and organizations. Therefore, it is important to illustrate the state of art on vulnerabilities and threats on mobile device. This chapter is addressed to explain mobile computing concept, features, architecture, operating systems, and risks to mobile devices. Mobile operating system structureand characteristicsare demonstrated. The author also illustrates mobile security issues, and type of threats to mobile devices. Finally, features and security models of two popular smartphone operating systems, Android and iOS, are illustrated. It was found that the security models of these two smartphones is immature and do not meet the enterprises security policies.

Security Risk Assessment

This document offers data involving mobile security exploitation penetration testing. Compared to desktop computers the expansion of mobile devices is tremendous in this years. Mobile de- vices are integrated into daily activities of people’s life. Mobile Applications became a part of our daily lives in order that virtually each internet or desktop application may be executed from a smartphone i.e. social networking, online banking, gaming applications and many others. This document also includes about different types of Mobile security threats, Types of penetration testing, Phases of penetrating testing, Principles of testing and Security risk assessment model. Due to the expansion of mobile devices now a days, it opens vast scope for attackers to steal sensitive information or to perform other kinds of attacks on these devices . The main purpose is to know the vulnerability and technics that ac- customed to find vulnerabilities in mobile applications. In the paper we have studied differing kinds of security risks concerned in mobile devices and mobile applications and regarding varied defensive mechanism to stop these security risk in mobile devices.

Fundamental Shift

The rapid rise in the number of mobile devices has resulted in an alarming increase in mobile software and applications. The mobile application markets/stores too have created a fundamental shift in the way mobile applications are delivered to users, with apps being added and updated in thousands every day. Even though research progresses have been achieved towards detection and mitigation of mobile security, open challenges still remain and also keep evolving in this area. Several studies reveal that mobile application markets/stores do harbor applications that are either vulnerable or malicious in nature, leading to compromises of millions of devices. This chapter (1) captures the attack surface of mobile devices, (2) lists the various mobile malware analysis techniques, and (3) lays the ground for research on mobile malware by providing mobile malware dataset resources, tools for malware analysis, patent landscaping for mobile malware detection, and a few open challenges in malware analysis.

Prior Relationship

Some of the most significant security issues arising in the context of ubiquitous mobile computing are reviewed. Emerging technologies which may be able to help overcome these security problems are also described; in particular we consider methods for secure ‘imprinting’ of mobile devices, techniques proposed for establishing trust between devices with no prior relationship, and finally the relevance of trusted computing technology to mobile security issues.

History Of

In order to secure mobile devices, there has been movement to trust negotiation where two entities are able to establish a measure of mutual trust, even if no prior contact between either entity has existed in the past. This chapter explores adaptive trust negotiation in a mobile environment as a means to dynamically adjust security parameters based on the level of trust established during the negotiation process thereby enhancing mobile security. To accomplish this, the chapter proposes a trust profile that contains a proof of history of successful access to sensitive data to facilitate identification and authentication for adaptive trust negotiation. The trust profile consists of a set of X.509 identity and attribute certificates, where a certificate is added whenever a user via a mobile application makes a successful attempt to request data from a server where no relationship between the user and server has previously existed as a result of trust negotiation. Our approach allows the user to collect an ever-growing amount of profile data for future adaptive trust negotiation.

AbstractThe spectacular growth in the use of mobile devices is a natural consequence of the benefits they offer. However, most mobile users grant little importance to the security of information stored, processed and transmitted. Even more, the last two years can be considered years of reference for the mobile security industry - ranging from virulent mobile ransomware attacks to mobile IoT botnets and mobile security breaches through mobile malware, that have redefined security paradigms. It is clear that we are at a point of inflection and transition to another generation of cyber attacks and the tendency is that attacks on mobile devices will expand. The security of mobile devices is a topical issue and the main objective is to educate the user to know the risks to which he/she is exposed to and to offer him/her viable security solutions in order to protect himself/herself against mobile threats. In this article we are going to present some protection and mitigation strategies with recommendations for improvement.
