Description

Recently, mobile security has garnered considerable interest in both the research community and industry due to the popularity of smartphones.

The current smartphone platforms are open systems that allow application development, also for malicious parties.

To protect the mobile device, its user, and other mobile ecosystem stakeholders such as network operators, application execution is controlled by a platform security architecture.

This book explores how such mobile platform security architectures work.

We present a generic model for mobile platform security architectures: the model illustrates commonly used security mechanisms and techniques in mobile devices and allows a systematic comparison of different platforms.

We analyze several mobile platforms using the model.

In addition, this book explains hardware-security mechanisms typically present in a mobile device.

We also discuss enterprise security extensions for mobile platforms and survey recent research in the area of mobile platform security.

The objective of this book is to provide a comprehensive overview of the current status of mobile platform security for students, researchers, and practitioners.
