Securing Cooperative Backup for Mobile Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
The use of mobile devices expands to various services, notably multimedia applications, resulting in huge quantity of data generated. The traditional backup function is relying entirely on the sporadic connection of the mobile device to an infrastructure. This is not sufficient to backup all the critical data handled by the mobile device. We propose a new alternative for the backup that relies on the cooperation of nearby mobile devices. However, such alternative raises, in its turn, new challenging security issues. We present these issues and how to address theses.

Cooperative Control of Mobile Robots in Creating a Runway Platform for Quadrotor Landing
Multi-agent systems are systems in which several agents accomplish a mission in a cooperative manner. In this paper, a novel idea for the construction of a movable runway platform based on multi-agent systems is presented. It is assumed that an aerial agent (quadrotor) decides to make an emergency landing due to reasons such as a decrease in energy level or technical failure, while there is no ...
متن کاملData Backup for Mobile Nodes: A Cooperative Middleware and an Experimentation Platform
In this paper, we present a middleware for dependable mobile systems and an experimentation platform for its evaluation. Our middleware is based on three original building blocks: a Proximity Map, a Trust and Cooperation Oracle, and a Cooperative Data Backup service. A Distributed Black-box application is used as an illustrative application of our architecture, and is evaluated on top of our mo...
متن کاملSecurity Rationale for a Cooperative Backup Service for Mobile Devices
Mobile devices (e.g., laptops, PDAs, cell phones) are increasingly relied on but are used in contexts that put them at risk of physical damage, loss or theft. This paper discusses security considerations that arise in the design of a cooperative backup service for mobile devices. Participating devices leverage encounters with other devices to temporarily replicate critical data. Anyone is free ...

متن کاملThe Impact of Cooperative Learning and Mobile Learning through Bluetooth Device on Vocabulary Learning of Iranian EFL Learners
Cooperative learning has been found to affect different aspects of language learning by many researchers (e.g., Kagan, 1995; Kagan, 1999; Kessler, 1992; McGroarty, 1993). Likewise, mobile assisted language learning (MALL) has revealed significant impacts on the improvement of different language skills and components (e.g., Comas-Quinn et al. 2009; Divitini & Chabert, 2009; Motallebzadeh & Ganja...
