  • Cloud Service Portal for mobile device management
    2010 IEEE 7th International Conference on E-Business Engineering, 2010
    Co-Authors: Leslie Liu, Randy Moulic, Dennis Shea
    Abstract:

    mobile device has become an important tool and component in many businesses and used widely as a successful platform to invent and develop new applications to increase efficiency and reduce cost. Maintaining a fleet of devices for the mobile task force in a secure and scalable fashion is critical to ensure the long-term success of enterprise mobility platforms. Many mobile device management suites have been designed and implemented lately to provide some management functions to enterprise mobile fleet, but to the best of our knowledge, none of them have leveraged the power of emerging cloud computing infrastructure and there are several areas that we see great potentials for significant improvements. In this paper, we present our design for a portal to provide remote management access to virtualized device management servers hosted in a service cloud. Our design is targeted to hide the details of the device management behind a standard-based, uniform control interface that can be viewed from a cross-platform agent that can run on multiple mobile platforms. We will also describe briefly the prototype we are developing as an internal pilot.

  • policy based security assessment of mobile end user devices an alternative to mobile device management solutions for android smartphones
    International Conference on Security and Cryptography, 2013
    Co-Authors: Thomas Zefferer, Peter Teufl
    Abstract:

    For security-critical applications, the integrity and security of end-user devices is of particular importance. This especially applies to mobile applications that use smartphones to process security-critical data. Unfortunately, users often compromise the security of smartphones by disabling security features for convenience reasons or by unintentionally installing malware from untrusted application sources. mobile device management (MDM) solutions overcome this problem by providing means to centrally manage and configure smartphones. However, MDM is mainly suitable for corporate environments but often cannot be applied in non-corporate fields of application such as m-banking or m-government. To address this problem, we propose an alternative approach to assure the security and integrity of smartphones. Our approach relies on a device assessor that evaluates the current state of a smartphone according to a security policy. Integration of this device assessor allows smartphone applications to condition the processing of security-critical data on the smartphone's compliance with a defined security policy. We have shown the practicability of the proposed approach by means of a concrete implementation for the Android platform. We have evaluated this implementation on different Android devices. Obtained results show that our approach constitutes an appropriate alternative for scenarios, in which MDM cannot be applied.
