  • Abstract
    Viruses that attack intelligent mobile phones are emerging as a new front in the fight against various computer viruses. In order to reveal the spreading rule of mobile phone virus, thus providing theory basis for preventing mobile phone virus from wide spreading, we consider the characteristics of mobile phone communication network, and then focus mainly on the short message network. Based on this specific network, we proposed an epidemic model of mobile phone virus based on the efficiency of immunization. In this epidemic model, we listed three basic statuses of mobile phone nodes, as well as the transition rules betweens these statuses. Through analyzing the epidemic model and the simulation experiment, we found that the epidemic model can forecast the development tendency of the node status. We discussed the influence of the efficiency of immunization, and then made a conclusion that mobile phone virus can not be removed completely. According to this model, we can take some measures to control the spreading of mobile phone virus.
