Mobile handheld devices such as smartphones, PDAs, and smart media players have outpaced the growth of wired hosts, and are emerging as the predominant vehicle for Internet access. In recent years, newer mobile phones, including various versions from Apple, Google, Nokia, and others, have promoted greater programmability, radically changing the age-old model of mobile phones being a closed platform. However, openness arrives with new challenges of trustworthiness. The goal of this project is to improve the trustworthiness of mobile phones in their daily operations, by analyzing threats that occur either due to malware or due to regular applications, designing mitigation strategies, and evaluating developed solutions through a real deployment on a smartphone platform (Google Android) and operating in a real network (Sprint-Nextel).This project will undertake crosscutting research, educational, and outreach plan to improve the robustness, reliability, security, privacy, and overall trustworthiness of mobile phones. The primary focus of this project will be on performance and security threats that are unique to mobile phones, including malicious applications that ex-filtrate data, performance loss due to resource constraints, privacy threats of lost devices, and remote network-based attacks. Specifically, this project will investigate issues related to following topics: (i) performance instability due to resource constraints (ii) protection against malicious applications (iii) privacy against lost phones (iv) detection and prevention against other network attacks. Techniques developed will have broad benefits to research and society. These techniques will enhance the trustworthiness of mobile phones, thereby improving the confidence of users in using these devices in their daily activities. An educational plan will introduce new curriculum centered on the mobile phone platform and establishes a new undergraduate laboratory for hands-on mobile device programming.

智能手机，PDA和智能媒体播放器等移动手持设备已经超过了有线主机的增长，并且正在成为互联网访问的主要工具。近年来，较新的手机，包括苹果，谷歌，诺基亚和其他人的各种版本，促进了更大的可编程性，从根本上改变了移动电话的古老型号是一个封闭的平台。但是，开放态度到达了可信赖的新挑战。 The goal of this project is to improve the trustworthiness of mobile phones in their daily operations, by analyzing threats that occur either due to malware or due to regular applications, designing mitigation strategies, and evaluating developed solutions through a real deployment on a smartphone platform (Google Android) and operating in a real network (Sprint-Nextel).This project will undertake crosscutting research, educational, and outreach plan to improve the robustness,手机的可靠性，安全性，隐私和整体可信度。该项目的主要重点将放在手机所独有的性能和安全威胁上，包括具有前效率数据的恶意应用程序，由于资源限制而造成的性能损失，丢失设备的隐私威胁以及基于网络的攻击。具体来说，该项目将调查与以下主题相关的问题：（i）由于资源限制而导致的性能不稳定性（ii）防止恶意应用程序（III）抗丢失的电话（IV）检测和预防其他网络攻击的隐私。开发的技术将为研究和社会带来广泛的好处。这些技术将增强手机的可信度，从而提高用户在日常活动中使用这些设备的信心。 一项教育计划将介绍以手机平台为中心的新课程，并为动手移动设备编程建立新的本科实验室。
