Design and Implementation of an Enhanced Secure Android-Based Smartphone using LIDS

Abstract

Recently, with the rapid development of android-based smartphones, it is becomes a major security issue that the case of Android platform is an open platform. so it is easy to be a target of mobile virus penetration and hacking. Even there are a variety of security mechanisms to prevent the vulnerable points of the Android platform but the reason of most of the security mechanisms were designed at application-level that highly vulnerable to the attacks directly to the operating system or attacks using the disadvantages of an application’s. It is necessary that the complementary of the android platform kernel blocks the kernel vulnerability and the application vulnerability. In this paper, we proposed a secure system using linux-based android kernel applied to LIDS(Linux Intrusion Detection and Defense System) and applied a smart phone with s5pc110 chip. As a result, the unauthorized alteration of the application was prevented with a proposed secure system.
