Naive Bayes Algorithm Mining Mobile Phone Trojan Crime Clues

After the mobile phone virus infects the mobile phone, it can transmit the real-time information of the user to the designated place set by the virus through the built-in recorder and camera on the mobile phone, thereby causing information leakage. With the rapid development of the Internet, the penetration rate of mobile terminals is also increasing day by day. As an emerging mobile terminal, smart phones have now fully occupied the market. With this trend, the importance of mobile phone information security is also increasing day by day. How to prevent mobile phone virus has gradually become an important issue. Trojan horse crime cases have different manifestations and behavioral characteristics from traditional cases. They have the characteristics of low crime cost, high income, high concealment, novel criminal methods, and great difficulty in detection, which brings greater difficulties to the public security organs in their investigation and detection. And the current research on mobile phone virus behavior is still in the preliminary stage, and some existing detection models can only target random networks. Trojan horses, viruses, and malicious software for smartphones have sprung up like mushrooms after rain, seriously infringing on the data security of mobile communication terminals, such as mobile phones and causing incalculable losses to users. This paper proposes a naive Bayesian algorithm to mine the clues of the criminal cases of mobile phone Trojans. It helps detect and discover new viruses at the beginning of an attack, allowing them to be more effectively defended and contained. And based on the feature set data extracted from the network data packets, it conducts an in-depth analysis of the current business behaviors of mobile phone Trojans, such as propagation and implantation, remote control, leakage of user privacy information, and malicious ordering, and extracts its behavior characteristics. Thus, unknown mobile Trojan horses that are taking place can be detected. The experimental results of the naive Bayesian classification algorithm proposed in this paper show that the algorithm improves the accuracy of mobile phone Trojan virus mining by 28%, which plays a significant role.

MOBILE INFORMATION SECURITY MANAGEMENT FOR SMALL ORGANISATION TECHNOLOGY UPGRADES: THE POLICY-DRIVEN APPROACH AND THE EVOLVING IMPLEMENTATION APPROACH

Information security management researchers are often focused on the information security policy, its implementation and evaluation as the primary means of ensuring that organisations protect their valuable data. However, information security is usually nested with a variety of other concerns (for instance technology upgrades, information access, efficiency and sustainability issues, employee satisfaction), so this policy-driven approach is seldom operated in isolation. We investigate the approach as implied in the mobile information security literature, provide a literature-inspired characterisation and use it to analyse an iPad implementation for politicians in a Swedish municipality. The analysis provides only a partial explanation for security work in this kind of small organisation technology upgrade, so we develop a complementary approach: the evolving implementation approach. A suggestion is made for how the two approaches can be reconciled, and implications for both practitioners and researchers derived.

Unix Domain Sockets Applied in Android Malware Should Not Be Ignored

Increasingly, malicious Android apps use various methods to steal private user data without their knowledge. Detecting the leakage of private data is the focus of mobile information security. An initial investigation found that none of the existing security analysis systems can track the flow of information through Unix domain sockets to detect the leakage of private data through such sockets, which can result in zero-day exploits in the information security field. In this paper, we conduct the first systematic study on Unix domain sockets as applied in Android apps. Then, we identify scenarios in which such apps can leak private data through Unix domain sockets, which the existing dynamic taint analysis systems do not catch. Based on these insights, we propose and implement JDroid, a taint analysis system that can track information flows through Unix domain sockets effectively to detect such privacy leaks.

Exploring the relationship between student mobile information security awareness and behavioural intent

Purpose – The purpose of this paper was to analyse existing theories from the social sciences to gain a better understanding of factors which contribute to student mobile phone users’ poor information security behaviour. Two key aspects associated with information security behaviour were considered, namely, awareness and behavioural intent. This paper proposes that the knowing-and-doing gap can possibly be reduced by addressing both awareness and behavioural intent. This research paper explores the relationship between student mobile phone user information security awareness and behavioural intent in a developmental university in South Africa. Design/methodology/approach – Information security awareness interventions were implemented in this action research study, and student information security behavioural intent was observed after each cycle. Findings – The poor security behaviour exhibited by student mobile phone users, which was confirmed by the findings of this study, is of particular interest in the university context, as most undergraduate students are offered a computer-related course which covers certain information security-related principles. Existing researchers in the field of information security still grapple with the “knowing-and-doing” gap, where user information security knowledge/awareness sometimes does not result in safer behavioural practises. Originality/value – Zhang et al. (2009) suggest that understanding human behaviour is important when dealing with the problems caused by human errors. Harnesk and Lindstrom (2011) expressed a concern that existing research does not address the interlinked relationship between anticipated security behaviour and the enactment of security procedures. This study acknowledges Choi et al. (2008) contribution in their discussions on the “knowing-and-doing gap” suggests a link between awareness and actual behaviour that is confirmed by the findings of this study.
