In this paper we propose a novel, network-based, distributed anomaly detection framework for smartphones. Our approach is based upon the distributed collection of arbitrary, static and dynamic smartphone features. Our approach is not limited to features that can be obtained directly on a device, but also includes features that are provided by other services running in the respective, corporate IT infrastructure (e.g. an IDS). Furthermore, we tag each collected feature with two kinds of information: (1) context-information and (2) trust-information. This way, anomaly detection methods are not limited to work on the actual feature values, but can also consider the context and the trustworthiness of collected features.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
