Analysis of Security Vulnerabilities for Mobile Health Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
The availability to deploy mobile applications for health care is increasing daily thru different mobile app stores. But within these capabilities the number of hacking attacks has also increased, in particular into medical mobile applications. The security vulnerabilities in medical mobile apps can be triggered by errors in code, incorrect logic, poor design, among other parameters. This is usually used by malicious attackers to steal or modify the users’ information. The aim of this research is to analyze the vulnerabilities detected in mobile medical apps according to risk factor standards defined by OWASP in 2014. Keywords—mHealth apps, OWASP, protocols, security vulnerabilities, risk factors.

متن کاملMASSA: Mobile Agents Security through Static/Dynamic Analysis
Existing MASs suffer from security problems that must be solved, if mobile code is to be used in the development of mission-critical, real-world applications. In this paper we propose a framework that provides automated support for verification and analysis of MASs and allows for identifying security issues before the MASs are placed into action. The proposed approach is centered around an abst...
