Title
TrUbi: A System for Dynamically Constraining Mobile Devices within Restrictive Usage Scenarios.
Abstract
In certain restrictive usage scenarios, personal mobile devices are required to operate in some constrained manner. Security concerns tend to be the most typical motivation, for example, as in \"Bring Your Own Device\" use cases. However, because most device configurations are strictly controlled by their respective users, today it is practically infeasible to satisfy such requirements. In this paper, we present TrUbi, a system that allows for dynamic and temporary restriction of Android devices by disabling or locking specific functions for limited amounts of time, e.g. network blocked. TrUbi enforces global security policies by implementing an OS primitive named trust lease. Our TrUbi prototype can efficiently enforce security policies in unmodified real-world apps and paves the way for new apps that are currently unsupported by existing mobile platforms.
