SECURITY THREATS OF SMART PHONES

Hacking have taken a front seat in computer technology and smartphones are still more vulnerable to various attacks. Lack of application identity indicators and natural display constraints of a smart phone make the job of a hacker more easier compared to a personal computer. Our paper analyses the security threats of smart phones with respect to phishing and importantly how applications evade security check in android and ios platforms security issues and thus man-in-the-middle attacks. Based on our analysis we suggest few practical and as well as technical solutions to the application analysts that certain protocols can be used for attack prevention. This paper also reviews the Wi-fi security problems and thus man-in-the-middle attacks. Based on our analysis we suggest few practical and as well as technical solutions to the application analysts that certain protocols can be used for attack prevention
