Smartphone and tablet era is a double-edged sword: security threats and opportunities

FARMINGTON, Conn., Jan. 8, 2013 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- With the rapid expansion of broadband wireless, end-users increasingly rely upon handheld devices for almost all daily living activities. The new smartphone and tablets era have brought along a flood of security issues along with opportunities to capitalize. The competitive telecommunication market has prompted mobile network operators to put forth considerable efforts to address threats posed by cyber-criminals who are expanding their business globally. Android OSS devices have become the main target for attackers. Cyber-criminals are not bound to mobile malware alone as they also attack in other ways such as hacking the phone of user through the so-called "Freemium" games. This often occurs by way of hacking the bank account when user initiates a mobile payment.

Meanwhile, fourth generation (4G) cellular LTE in particular represents both a unique opportunity and challenge as device attacks continue to grow at a rapid rate, exposing vulnerabilities that must be addressed. Already covering half the globe, long-term evolution (LTE) telecommunication is expected to be virtually everywhere by 2020.

WiFi Direct allows devices to communicate directly with each other using methods similar to traditional WiFi without the reliance upon a central access point. Instead, the devices use a "Software Access Point" (Soft AP). When two devices get within close range of each other the users can merely push a button which will allow the devices to communicate directly with one another and negotiate which device will act as the access point rather than using a central access point.

In the person-to-device application type, the user will communicate with another WiFi Direct capable device for communications such as printing a file on their smartphone to the target device. In the reverse direction the device, a Blu-Ray player, will communicate with the user by 'pushing' the video to the user's tablet device.
