Mobile networks around the globe generate more than 50 Exabytes of traffic annually. The immense volume of traffic together with the growing adoption of open source Operating System (OS) platforms such as Android has opened up new security threats. Mobile malware, SMS spam, cyber attacks and unlawful eavesdropping are an ever-increasing problem for enterprises, consumers and mobile network operators around the globe.

This has in turn led to significant investments in integrated security appliances and content security gateways by both enterprises and mobile network operators, besides opening doors for emerging submarkets such as mobile Security as a Service (SEaaS).

On the devices front, installation of Anti-Malware/Anti-Virus client software is fast becoming a de-facto requirement for most smartphones and tablets. Furthermore, mobile device OEMs are also integrating advanced biometrics such as fingerprint sensing into their smartphones and tablets, amid growing popularity of security sensitive opportunities such as mobile payments.

Driven by the thriving ecosystem, SNS Research estimates that mobile device and network security investments will account for nearly $9 Billion in 2013 alone. The market is further expected to grow at a CAGR of nearly 21% over the next 7 years.

SNS Research estimates that by the end of 2013, annual shipments of connected mobile devices will outnumber PC and notebook shipments by almost 1.6 Billion units.

The quantum jumps in connection speeds offered by mobile network operators have expanded the scope of content that can be rendered and exchanged using mobile devices, considerably. In 2013 alone, SNS Research estimates that mobile devices will generate nearly 58 Exabyte’s of network traffic.

Anti-Malware/Anti-Virus Client Software

Mobile anti-virus works pretty much like its PC counterpart. Antivirus protects devices against viruses and other malicious programs such as Trojans, rootkits, worms, spyware and others.

Detection Mechanism: How it Works?

Anti-virus technology, at its heart, is a detection tool. Anti-viruses look for signatures of known viruses, predominantly in code that can be executed. Their work does not stop with that, as they have to detect unknown threats as well. These are instances of malicious code that have not been identified. Here, they employ heuristic techniques, which combine anomaly detection with specific instances of behavior of known viruses to checkmate impending threats. Present day anti-viruses do not limit themselves to scanning resources only on being prompted; they form a veritable protective shield which keeps an eye on critical system resources to detect the presence of malicious code. The shield helps in achieving real time protection for the device.

Delivery Mode

Mobile anti-viruses can be downloaded directly on mobile devices through the vendor’s website or the application market place run by the mobile OS developer. In earlier years, the preferred mode of mobile antivirus installation was to transfer it to the device from a PC.

MHz band. This is an unlicensed band reserved for industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) applications. Maximum data rate supported by NFC are 424 kbps. Clearly, NFC is a low data rate standard. Its operating range distance is capped typically at 10 cm. While a majority of the NFC use-cases are in the form of readertag communication; peer-to-peer communication is also possible, provided both the devices are powered. NFC is supposed to be in active mode if the tags have access to power independently. In such cases, the tag and the reader can generate their own magnetic fields. When independent power to the tag is absent, NFC is said to be acting in a passive mode, wherein the tag works by modulating the field generated by the reader by drawing power from the reader device.

Is NFC Immune to Eavesdropping?

As NFC works on the principle of proximity, it is thought of being inherently secure. It is practically very difficult for hackers to intercept communication from such close quarters. However, this belief could be misleading as NFC is not entirely immune to eavesdropping, although the eavesdropper has to be in close proximity of the NFC enabled handset. Also, passive NFC tags are believed to be less susceptible to being eavesdropped as compared to their active counterparts. The potency of the eavesdropping threat is determined by antenna geometry of the eavesdropper as well as the target, distance between the eavesdropper and the target, as well as by the signal quality available to the eavesdropper. Philips, one of the developers of NFC also enlists data corruption, insertion and modification as less probable, but theoretically possible, vulnerabilities of NFC devices.

Key Players in the Market

Vendor landscape is the most accurate barometer of the market potential of a technology. On this count, mobile biometrics is on a sound footing. Considering that it is very much in the fledgling stage, it enjoys considerable interest, as evidenced in the significant number of companies foraying into it. Some of the salient participants are highlighted below:

  • 3M Cogent supplies finger print and facial recognition systems for law enforcement, as well as commercial domains.
  • Inside Secure provides modular solutions for fingerprint as well as swipebased authentication.
  • Bayometric makes mobile fingerprint scanners that are present as a hardware attachment.
  • Cross Match Technologies provides multimodal biometric mobile solutions, predominantly to the law enforcement agencies.
  • CrucialTec’s mobile fingerprint scanners are embedded in the home button itself; making authentication intuitive and convenient.
  • Fulcrum Biometerics provides multimodal biometric applications for Android as well as iOS, including face, iris and fingerprint
  • Iris ID is a pioneer in the development of a combined iris and facial recognition system.
