Description

Mobile devices, such as smart phones, have achieved computing and networking capabilities comparable to traditional personal computers. Their successful consumerization has also become a source of pain for adopting users and organizations. In particular, the widespread presence of information-stealing applications and other types of mobile malware raises substantial security and privacy concerns.  Android Malware presents a systematic view on state-of-the-art mobile malware that targets the popular Android mobile platform.  Covering key topics like the Android malware history, malware behavior and classification, as well as, possible defense techniques.
