Title
Mobile and ubiquitous malware
Abstract
Mobile malware is an increasing threat to the world of handheld devices, which can prove to be costlier than PC viruses in the future. The current method used to combat mobile malware is virus signature matching which is based on the slow process of reverse engineering. This paper studies the growth, spread and generic behaviors of mobile and ubiquitous malware in mobile phones. We extend the works of Bose et al. and Schmidt et al. with an additional feature to reduce the effectiveness of mobile malware propagation. The objective of our work is to investigate the trends and generic behavioral patterns of mobile malware and suggest a generic proof-of-concept model which combines the works of Bose et al. and Schmidt et al. with a new feature to slowdown the spread of known and unknown mobile malware which may share similar behavioral patterns.
