Securing Smartphones: A Micro-TCB Approach

Speaker/Bio

Ari Trachtenberg speaks for a living.

Abstract

As mobile phones have evolved into 'smartphones' with complex operating systems running third-party software, they have become increasingly vulnerable to malicious applications. We introduce a design for mitigating malware attacks based on a small trusted computing base module and a simple secure attention key. This talk is based on joint work with Yossi Gilad and Amir Herzberg of Bar Ilan University.
