Malware Analysis in IoT & Android Systems with Defensive Mechanism

Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) and the Android operating system have made cutting-edge technology accessible to the general public. These are affordable, easy-to-use, and open-source technology. Android devices connect to different IoT devices such as IoT-enabled cameras, Alexa powered by Amazon, and various other sensors. Due to the escalated growth of Android devices, users are facing cybercrime through their Android devices. This article aims to provide a comprehensive study of the IoT and Android systems. This article classifies different attacks on IoT and Android devices and mitigation strategies proposed by different researchers. The article emphasizes the role of the developer in secure application design. This article attempts to provide a relative analysis of several malware detection methods in the different environments of attacks. This study expands the awareness of certain application-hardening strategies applicable to IoT devices and Android applications and devices. This study will help domain experts and researchers to gain knowledge of IoT systems and Android systems from a security point of view and provide insight into how to design more efficient, robust, and comprehensive solutions. This article discusses different attack vectors and mitigation strategies available to both developers and in the open domain. Certain guidelines are also suggested for application and platform developers, as well as application databases (Google play store), to limit the risk of attack, and users can form their own defense with knowledge regarding keeping hardware and software updated and securing their system with a strong password.

Application of Machine To Machine Communication for Smart Homes

“…The smart home automation system is used with the help of internet of things which is especially attached with sensors which can easily control cloud research laboratories. The IoT cloud technology may occur with the potential resources such as codes and high protective key codes which cannot form fraud activities [23]. The digital database is used for helping institutional and professional effects that help in superior specification of communities.…”

Evaluating Present and Future Challenges in IoT Security

“…Users of IoT devices often deploy it without having any sort of knowledge regarding the IT department and this can make a huge impact on the security protocols of IoT devices [7]. This lack of knowledge makes it impossible to have an adequate stock of what requires be securing and observing firmly.…”

Importance of Data Biometric in the Organisational Culture

“…Conventional security systems use smart cards, passwords, pin codes. Biometrics provides high level prominence, by removing possible problems around stolen authorizations [6]. The usage of functions such as eyeball scans, fingerprints make sure genuine recognition which cannot be copied easily.…”
