  • Abstract
    Mobile security draws more attention while the mobile device gains its popularity. Malwares just like viruses, botnet and worms, become concerns since the frequently leakage of personal information.

Besides, countermeasures of vulnerability are also discussed to protect the security and privacy of mobile devices.
