  • vmobidesk desktop virtualization for Mobile Operating Systems
    IEEE Access, 2020
    Co-Authors: Peiyu Liu, Wenzhi Chen, Kai Hwang
    Abstract:

    Smart Mobile devices have significantly increased the popularity of Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD) at work, as they benefit people’s daily lives. However, BYOD comes with several challenging issues such as limited hardware capacity, frequent upgrades of applications, and security and privacy concerns. Virtual Mobile Infrastructure (VMI), a general framework that provides more reliable and secure solution for BYOD, has therefore been proposed. The key of VMI is to host a Mobile Operating System (OS) on a remote cloud data center, and run Mobile applications on it. However, VMI faces performance challenge as it needs to display the entire virtualized desktop on a Mobile device while the real content of the desktop is on a remote server. To address the performance challenge, we design and implement a VMI named vMobiDesk on top of Android with optimized network transfer mechanisms and display virtualization. In particular, vMobiDesk focuses on virtualizing the display of Android desktops, redirecting users’ input events, providing audio support and remote camera. The experimental results show that vMobiDesk has low virtualization overhead, as well as enables Mobile users to obtain good experiences with BYOD applications.

  • vmobidesk desktop virtualization for Mobile Operating System
    High Performance Computing and Communications, 2016
    Co-Authors: Pengfei Jiang, Zonghui Wang, Wenzhi Chen
    Abstract:

    With the rapid adoption of smartphones and tablets, virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) for Mobile devices emerges as one of the key concept in Mobile cloud computing (MCC). However, existing VDI products are originally designed for personal computer Operating Systems (e.g. Windows, Mac OS, Ubuntu, etc.). The user experience is greatly degraded while viewing and Operating a PC desktop from a smartphone or a tablet. In this paper, we propose techniques to virtualize the desktop of Mobile Operating Systems (e.g. Android, iOS, Winphone, etc.) for Mobile users and we have implemented a prototype System on Android which is one of the most popular Mobile Operating Systems. The experimental results show that our System enables Mobile users to achieve almost the same experience as in the local while viewing and Operating the remote Mobile desktops.

  • Android Malware Forensics: Reconstruction of Malicious Events
    2014
    Co-Authors: Yuhao Luo
    Abstract:

    Abstract—Smart Mobile devices have been widely used and the contained sensitive information is endangered by malwares. The malicious events caused by malwares are crucial evidences for digital forensic analysis, and the main task of Mobile forensic analysis is to reconstruct these events. However, the reconstruction heavily relies on the code analysis of the malware. The difficulties and challenges include how to quickly identify the suspicious programs, how to defeat the anti-forensics tricks of malicious code, and how to deduce the malicious behaviors according to the code. To address this issue, we propose sys-tematic procedures of analyzing typical malware behaviors on the popular Mobile Operating System Android. Based on the procedures we discuss the deduction of Android malicious events. We also give a real malware forensic case as a reference.

  • android and the political economy of the Mobile internet a renewal of open source critique
    First Monday, 2012
    Co-Authors: Kimberley Spreeuwenberg, Thomas Poell
    Abstract:

    This paper examines how and why Google in developing Android, the popular Mobile Operating System, has strategically adopted particular open source practices, but ignored others. It explores how through these practices, the corporation has been able to cultivate and control a vast Mobile Internet ecology. This ecology involves large telcos and equipment manufacturers, as well as a mass of third party application developers and hundreds of millions of Mobile Internet users. It allows Google to use and build on the contributions of independent programmers. More importantly, it facilitates the harvesting of valuable metadata of Android users, crucial for the development of new location–specific services and advertising. This paper shows how these corporate strategies, which combine intricate technical, legal, and political–economic maneuvering, shape the rapidly growing Mobile Internet, and, consequently, have far–reaching economic and cultural consequences.
