Third Line of Defense Strategy to Fight against SMS-based Malware in Android Smartphones
In this paper, we inspire from two analogies: the warfare kill zone and the airport check-in system, to design and deploy a new line in the defense-in-depth strategy, called the third line. This line is represented by a security framework, named the Intrusion Ambushing System and is designed to tackle the issue of SMS-based malware in the Android-based Smartphones. The framework exploits the security features offered by Android operating system to prevent the malicious SMS from going out of the phone and detect the corresponding SMS-based malware.
