Why Mobile Security is not Like Traditional Security
نویسنده
چکیده
We argue that traditional security solutions do not necessarily work for mobile environments, but that suitable solutions can and must be developed to address the needs of mobile platforms. To support this, we describe how the differences are likely to affect security and describe mobile-friendly solutions for CAPTCHAs, user authentication, and malware protection.

Security Adaptation Components for Mobile Communication
Mobile computing and communication develops into an important factor in business, but it is accompanied with new security threats. The main problem lies on the one hand in the heterogeneity, dynamics and scarcity of the resources and on the other hand in the additional information like user location. In this paper, we investigate some issues concerning security of mobile computing systems, whic...

Ad hoc networks are a new-fangled wireless networking paradigm for mobile nodes. Unlike traditional wireless networks, ad-hoc networks do not rely on any fixed infrastructure. Instead, the mobile nodes rely on each other to share the information. The main dispute in designing these networks is their susceptibility to security attacks. The increase in number of applications of ad-hoc networks de...

A Mobile Ad-Hoc Network (MANET) is a collection of mobile nodes communicating in a multi hop way without any fixed infrastructure such as access points or base stations. Mobile ad hoc networks have several advantages over the traditional wired networks, on the other sides they have a unique set of challenges like MANETs face challenges in secure communication, mobile nodes without adequate prot...
متن کاملSecurity in Ad Hoc Networks: a General Intrusion Detection Architecture Enhancing Trust Based Approaches
In the last few years, the performances of wireless technologies have increased tremendously thus opening new fields of application in the domain of networking. One of such fields concerns mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) in which mobile nodes organise themselves in a network without the help of any predefined infrastructure. Securing MANETs is just as important, if not more, as securing traditi...
