Mobile Device Security Enhancement through Software Controlled Proximity Device

百年纪念学院正在与便携式电子设备安全公司uConekt Inc.合作开发

Centennial College is partnering with a portable electronic devise security company uConekt Inc. to develop security protocols for its software and hardware. Mobile device security practitioners must implement best practices to detect and mitigate malware and advanced persistent threats by leveraging both existing and innovative security technologies in their mobile wireless architectures. By working closely with Centennial College's School of Engineering Technology and Applied Sciences, a company like uConekt Inc. has the potential to solve this problem. Faculty researchers and students from the Information and Communication Engineering Technology program will develop the partner's patent-pending secure pairing protocol. Given the proliferation of virus, malware and security threats in the smartphone industry, the researchers have to start with the underlying source code-base. With its Secure Mobile strategy, innovative approach to hardwareenhanced security, and unique software threat intelligence system, uConekt is working with the college to keep its customers safe. The proposed research will enable Centennial's researchers to develop best practices and secure software technologies for a wireless device and test these solutions at the college.
