Self-Securing Services for Mobile Handsets

Project Description

The rapidly growing capability and world-wide proliferation of smart phones and mobile handhelds have begun to attract the attention of virus writers in recent years. The past few years alone have witnessed an exponential rise in the number of distinct mobile malware families to over 30, and their varients to more than 170. Our goal is twofold: (i) develop light-weight on-handset detection algorithms and (ii) develop a framework for self-securing handsets to protect against such malware.
