Abstract
The wide proliferation of mobile devices has attracted the attention of cyber-criminals, who exploit their functionality for malevolent purposes. One of the most popular approaches is the exploitation of sms for generating unsolicited electronic messages, also known as spam. The paper describes the peculiarities of the mobile unsolicited message traffic and proposes an sms spam detection algorithm for mobile devices. The developed prototype can be quite an effective method for fighting SMS spam.
