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.

State Of Art

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.

Mobile Computing Environment

Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC) which combines mobile computing and cloud computing, has become one of the industry ring words and a major conversation thread in the IT world with an explosive development of the mobile applications and emerging of cloud computing idea, the MCC has become a possible technology for the mobile service users. The concepts of Cloud computing are naturally meshed with mobile devices to allow on-the-go functionalities and benefits. The mobile cloud computing is emerging as one of the most important branches of cloud computing and it is expected to expand the mobile ecosystems. As more mobile devices enter the market and evolve, certainly security issues will grow as well. Also, enormous growth in the variety of devices connected to the Internet will further drive security needs. MCC provides a platform where mobile users make use of cloud services on mobile devices. The use of MCC minimizes the performance, compatibility, and lack of resources issues in mobile computing environment.

The Way

Mobility and computing were two concepts that never met a decade or two ago. But with the advent of new wireless technologies using radio propagation, the impossible is now becoming possible. Though there are many challenges to be overcome in terms of improving the bandwidth and security as with a wired network, the developments are quite encouraging. It would definitely dictate the way we do transactions in future. This chapter briefly explores some popular wireless technologies that aid in mobile computing, like 802.11 networks, Bluetooth networks, and HomeRF networks. Under 802.11 networks, we investigate the details of both infrastructure and ad hoc networks and its operations. The reader is thus made aware of these technologies briefly along with their performance, throughput, and security issues, which finally concludes with user preferences of these technologies.

Internet-of-Things (IoT) is an inevitable domain of technology that is going to capture the connectivity of the majority of the smart devices in the coming days supported by huge advancement in mobile computing. However, IoT still suffers serious security issues when it comes to performing extensive communication over a broad range of heterogeneous devices. A review of existing secure routing schemes shows that they are complex in operation overlooking the communication performance and resource-constrained factors. Therefore, the proposed system introduces a very novel, simple, and cost-effective, secure routing scheme that is not only capable of identifying the threats without any apriority information of adversary, but they are equally capable of isolating the threats from the connectivity of regular IoT nodes. The simulated outcome of the proposed system shows that it offers a better solution towards security in contrast to existing security approaches frequently exercised in IoT at present

Use Of Resources

Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC) is a recent technological development, which has emerged from two popular technology trends; mobile computing and cloud. In essence it revolutionises the capabilities of mobile devices by integrating both storage and processing of the cloud environment with mobile computing and in doing so providing greater optimisation and operating power, allowing for transparent and seamless use of resources provided by the cloud. However, expanding the capability of resource constrained mobile devices in this manner comes at a price. There are many risks associated with the security of data within the cloud environment and as MCC essentially uses the cloud, it also inherits any security issues that are associated with cloud computing. The aim of this survey is to identify potential data security issues, and analyse and present some pioneering security mechanisms and finally suggest some future directions for better data security with MCC.

Health And Fitness

The emergence and ubiquity of mobile computing has placed powerful capabilities in one's hand providing a wide range of applications such as email, calendar, photos, browsers, social network, communication, shopping, health and fitness, games etc., which were once restricted to traditional platforms. Such applications on a single mobile device raise critical security issues related to managing identity, re-authenticating users that stay active for long periods of time, protecting sensitive PII and PHI against access and misuse, insuring secure transactions, and protecting the physical device. This chapter explores user authentication requirements for mobile computing by: evaluating alternative user authentication requirements in order to make recommendations on their usage in authentication; identifying authentication methods used in mobile healthcare applications; and proposing a set of requirements for user authentication to handle the situation when a user seeks to be securely authenticated across a set of applications that are placed into context within a framework.

This chapter introduces the enormous impact of mobile computing on both companies and individuals. Companies face many issues related to mobile computing. For example: which devices will be supported by the organization? which devices will fulfill the business objectives? which form factor will win? which features and networks will future devices offer? which operating systems will they run? what will all this cost? what are the security issues involved? what are the business drivers? This chapter will discuss the major business drivers in the mobile computing field, and provide an analysis of the top two operating systems that are currently running the majority of mobile devices. These platforms are the 1) Palm operating system (OS), and 2) Microsoft Windows CE operating system. The chapter will analyze the strengths and weaknesses of each operating system and discuss market share and future growth.
