A Security Analysis of Smartphones

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / This work analyzes and discusses the current security environment of today's (and
future) smartphones, and proposes a security model which will reduce smartphone
vulnerabilities, preserving privacy, integrity and availability of smartphone native
applications to authorized parties. For this purpose, we begin with an overlook of
current smartphone security standards, and explore the threats, vulnerabilities and
attacks on them, that have been uncovered so far with existing popular smartphones.
We also look ahead at the future uses of the smartphones, and the security threats
that these newer applications would introduce. We use this knowledge to construct a mathematical model, which gives way to policies that should be followed to secure the smartphone under the model. We finally discuss existing and proposed security mechanisms that can be incorporated in the smartphone architecture to meet the set policies, and thus the set security standards.
