A Comparison of Window 8 and Linux Operating System (Android) Security for Mobile Computing
Mobile computing is considered as low-cost computing systems. Now days it dominates almost every aspects of our lives from mobile banking to mobile purchasing to mobile browsing, etc. As the demands of mobile phone increase in our lives, making the system secure from authorized access, malicious threads etc is very important. In mobile computing one of the most important need is Mobile security聽or聽mobile phone security. Operating system plays an important role to gain both functionalities and quality (e.g., security) of a system. This paper briefly discuss both聽 the operating systems in terms of security .Also this paper surveys the software architecture of two of the leading mobile operating systems such as Android (Linux), and Windows Mobile. Furthermore, at the end the result of survey we have conducted have been proved that Android is providing better security measures than Windows8
Desarrollo de una aplicaci贸n que permita el escaneo de las vulnerabilidades en los dispositivos m贸viles Android para mitigar los problemas de seguridad
El trabajo de investigaci贸n Desarrollo de una aplicaci贸n que permita el escaneo de las
vulnerabilidades en los dispositivos m贸viles Android para mitigar los problemas de
seguridad realizado en la ciudad de Riobamba, beneficia principalmente a los
desarrolladores de software para la realizaci贸n de una programaci贸n segura bajo Android.
El presente trabajo de investigaci贸n utiliza el m茅todo cient铆fico porque utiliza varias
etapas para obtener un conocimiento v谩lido, lo que ha permitido la fiabilidad de la
investigaci贸n y resultados. Se compararon los indicadores considerados en las variables
y se aplic贸 la estad铆stica descriptiva y la inferencial para la demostraci贸n de la hip贸tesis.
Las herramientas que se utilizaron fueron como ambiente de desarrollo integrado
Netbeans y Eclipse Juno, JDK (Java Development Kit) de Java y el SDK (Software
Development Kit) de Android. Se desarroll贸 el generador y el framework de ejecuci贸n de
los casos de prueba que permite la detecci贸n de las vulnerabilidades en las aplicaciones
escaneadas, se elabor贸 la Gu铆a de Mejores Pr谩cticas para la Realizaci贸n de una
Programaci贸n Segura en Android. Se implement贸 y compar贸 los resultados obtenidos
entre los prototipos I (sin considerar las recomendaciones de la gu铆a) y II (considerando
las recomendaciones de la gu铆a) de 3 aplicaciones, que obtuvieron una valoraci贸n de 28
y 34 puntos de acuerdo a las escalas de Likert respectivamente. Se concluye que la
aplicaci贸n desarrollada (APSEBI) escanea las vulnerabilidades basadas en intents, a
trav茅s de la gu铆a elaborada mejora la seguridad de las aplicaciones Android en un 21,4%.
Se recomienda a los desarrolladores de software seguir actualizando el generador de casos
de prueba en base a nuevos patrones de vulnerabilidad, as铆 como tambi茅n la gu铆a
elaborada.The research development of an application that allows scanning vulnerabilities in
Android mobile devices to mitigate security issues held in the city of Riobamba, mainly
benefits developers of software for the realization of a secure programming on Android.
This research uses the scientific method because it uses several steps to obtain valid
knowledge, allowing the reliability of the research and results. Comparing: the indicators
considered in the variables and applied, descriptive and inferential statistics to
demonstrate the hypothesis. The tool used were as integrated development environment,
Netbeans and Eclipse Juno, JDK (Java Development Kit) Java and SDK (Software
Development Kit) for Android. Developed, the generator and the framework for
implementing the test cases that allows the detection of vulnerabilities in scanned
applications, and it was developed the Guide to Best Practices for Making a Secure
Programming in Android. It was implemented and compared the results obtained between
the prototypes I (without considering the recommendations of the Guide) and II
(considering the recommendations of the Guide) from 3 applications, which received a
rating of 28 and 34 points according to Likert scales respectively. It is concluded that the
developed application (APSEBI) scans based vulnerabilities intents, through the prepared
Guide improves the security of Android applications by 21.4%. It is recommended,
software developers continue to update the generator of test cases based on new patterns
of vulnerability, as well as the prepared guide
