Wireless and Mobile Computing Security Challenges and Their Possible Solutions
Keywords:
Mobile, Security, security challengesAbstract
Mobile device security has become more critical as businesses begin to rely on these devices for everyday processes. Securing information from unauthorized access is a major problem for any network, especially in the wireless networks. This paper will discuss the main security challenges concerning the mobile devices such as tablet and cell phones which run a mobile Operating System (OS). More specifically, these are Android (Google), iOS (Apple), or BlackBerry OS (RIM). Major solutions to the security challenges will also presented and discussed in this paper.
