Design and Implementation of Personal Firewalls for Handheld Devices

چکیده
Personal Digital Assitants (PDAs) have become one of the important tools in our life. Their popularity are due to their small size and mobility which enable them to be carried anywhere. Along with their popularity, handheld devices are starting to become the target for the attackers, who are mainly interested in gaining the data stored in handheld devices. Therefore, security of handheld devices have attracted a lot of attention in an effort to protect the sensitive information stored in handheld devices. Securing handheld devices is a daunting task. It requires a careful design since the devices have very limited computational power and battery life. In this paper, we aim to review the security threats to handheld computers and propose several possible solutions. We performed some experiments to test our proposed solution in an iPaq Pocket PC.

متن کاملImplementation of a Handheld Compute Engine for Personal Health Devices
In this paper, we propose a handheld Compute Engine (CE) for personal health devices (PHDs). The CE is a device that receives measurements from more than one PHD, and collects, analyzes and displays the received measurements. It also transfers the collected measurements to a remote monitoring server for more informative analysis. We implement the CE on a handheld device (i.e., smartphone) to pr...
