Evaluation Of A Battery Draining Attack

Having a slow phone and low battery all the time is such a drag. iPhones have an option if the user's battery gets to low they can go into low power mode. They even have a pop up showing that the user’s battery is low. This option on iPhones saves the users battery life so they do not have to charge it every two seconds. Having an iPhone, I noticed they are significantly faster than other phones as Quora states “Apple, being heavily vertically integrated is utilizing their own CPU design, which allows them to specify exactly what they want in the chip. That a dual core

This is especially important for an IT company such as Intel as it can be the key for the companies to survive or the reason which made the failure of some IT companies. There are more and more consumers in the wireless industry, nobody can argue that the PDA and cell phones have become so popular; they are the new digital trends of this era. Intel cannot ignore this profitable industry. So it has researched and announced the new chip “Atom” for mobile devices which is believed to “unleash new innovation across the industry." said Intel executive VP and chief sales and marketing officer Sean Maloney (Geoff, 2008).

We consider the situation where an attacker is already in possession of the smartphone. This scenario is common because the user might forget her smartphone somewhere, i.e., in her office, canteen, etc., or an attacker manages to steal the smartphone (e.g., through pickpocketing, etc). More specifically, we target three scenarios: (i) an attacker accidentally finds the smartphone, (ii) the attacker is victim's friend or colleague (who knows about the implemented mechanism), and (iii) an attacker who tries to mimic the user behaviors (e.g., using recorded video, etc) to unlock the victim's smartphone.

Design and implementation of this project is divided into two parts: 
i) Penetration testing of real-world applications using variety of tools available. 
ii) Secure coding guideline for iOS developers as a counter measure to possible threats which includes development of jailbreak detection application.

The purpose of this study will be to develop adequate security strategies and best practices as a guide to add to the knowledge base of current literature on IoT devices. The current research literature on the internet of things indicates that the number of attacks against IoT devices are on the rise. The number of potential attackers is growing at an alarming rate because of the number of IoT devices that are joined to network every day (Abomhara and Kien, 2015). Tools are available to those same potential attackers are much more sophisticated that they have ever been. (p. 66). This study will provide valuable information to IT leaders, service providers, vendors and IoT manufactures.

With at least 13 ambush shooting of law enforcement during the last few weeks, Minneapolis police are making changes to how they handle 911 calls. Ambush shootings of officers nationwide were up 50% in 2014 and today's numbers stand at a 70% increase over 2015! Washington-based National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund says ambush-style attacks are the leading method in the surging numbers of shooting deaths of law enforcement officers.

On December 2, 2015, fourteen people were killed and twenty-two were injured in a terrorist attack. This horrible action took place at the Island Regional Center in San Bernardino, California. The two terrorists of the shooting were, Tashfeen Malik and Syed Rizwan Farook. Apple is asking to expel the court order that requires the company to give the Federal Bureau Investigation (FBI) a hand in breaking into the iPhone of one of the San Bernardino shooters, saying that it is a violation of the Constitution. The FBI wants Apple to make a way to unlock the IPhone. I agree with the FBI, because many people lose their lives in terrorist attacks, not knowing who caused the event and what could have been done to stop it. With this code, it saves many

The authors have organized the article very logically by giving a series of problems that link together can make the smartphone insecure by giving the examples of outside sources: operating system security issues of L. Xing et al., “Unauthorized Cross-App Resource Access on MAC OSX and iOS,”, memory corruption attacks of E. Schwartz et al., “Q: Exploit Hardening Made Easy,”, etc. These logical series can build stronger relationships to the ethos and pathos to make their writing more effective.

Battery is simply being touched without consent. For example if you are underage, which is usually under eighteen years old, and your parent or guardian did not give permission to the health care provider to touch or check the patient then it is considered battery. With being intentional tort would be meaning that the health care provider still touches and exams the under aged child without consent even though he knows that he is liable to be held for battery. So always get consent from the parent or guardian so that no one is liable for battery. Because it is so simple to avoid doing something without consent. All a health care provider needs to do is get consent for all under age children under 18 from their parents or guardians.

The average home isn’t anywhere near as secure as we’d like to think. Worse than that, the conventional wisdom that is passed off as “home security advice” is just about worthless. All it does is to help keep honest people honest—not keep the dishonest out. Why, you can kick the average front door with a deadbolt wide open!

Context: Our networks are becoming more vulnerable because of wireless and mobile computing. Ubiquitous devices can and do pose a significant vulnerability. In this activity, you are to think outside the box and determine how to best defend against these threats.

This article takes account of the security concerns in the early 2000s and states that it’s a reality. Provides a “long-range outlook” to mobile technology makers in designing future mobile devices. Concepts can be used in future security frameworks.

Thesis; Along with the efficiency mobile devices render, come along its risks, in which raises substantial security and privacy concerns. It’s important to be aware of the possible threats a mobile can have, along with knowing what and how to secure information, as well as trying to prevent threats from happening.

Security at hardware level is a new trend in security industry; it will accelerate the security at the processor and chip-set level (Vaquero, Rodero-Merino and Moran, 2011:112). Antivirus solution with Computers and Hardware will eliminate antivirus and Firewall security solutions industry. (Bruce Schneier accessed January/9 2013). Intel is planning to move computer security to the hardware level from its current software level, by incorporating security features onto their chips and processors (MEED 2010).This will also hit the IT Security devices market.

We will provide a brief Description to Elliptic Curve Cryptography and the implementation of new attacks on the cryptography in this section. If you want to a comprehensive description about to ECC than you can find it in [10],[11]. A reader want to go through a summary of power analysis attacks, by far the class of implementation attacks, we refer you to [8].
