Mobile Shield 2014
Mobile Shield or Real-time security shield for mobile platforms, is a project with the objective
to deliver and package new fraud-detection and privacy services specifically tailored for mobile platforms.
As part of the project, three different technologies will be developed and tested in real world pilots. Further business models will be created to introduce the technologies into the market. The first technology is a set of fraud-detection algorithms for mobile with new features such as being real-time, offering continuous monitoring and be based on anomaly behavior detection, developed by Trento University. The second technology developed by the University of Technology in Bern is a mobile virtualization technology to protect the fraud detector implementing the algorithms on the mobile itself against possible attacks from malware. Finally, a third technology is a security app from F-secure called Freedom. Freedom is an app for smartphone and tablet devices running Android and iOS. The app the targeted to protect users from the several privacy and security breaches.
Issues such as integration, product engineering and usage scenario definition will be addressed as well as privacy, usability and acceptance of the service will be tested and validated by real users in at Botnia living lab. Finally, the economic feasibility of the solutions and elaborated effective business models around which it is possible to build a commercial offering of the new fraud-management services will be created.
