Abstract
Mobile devices are an important part of our everyday lives since they enable us to access a large variety of ubiquitous service of process. In recent years, the availability of these ubiquitous and mobile service has significantly growth due to the different form of connectivity provided by mobile devices, such as GSM, GPRS, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. In the same trend, the phone number and typologies of exposure exploiting these services and communication channels have increased as well. Therefore, smartphones may now represent an perfect target for malware author. As the number of vulnerabilities and, hence, of attacks increase, there has been a corresponding rise of security system solution proposed by scientists. Due to the fact that this research subject is immature and still unexplored in profoundness, with this paper we heading to provide a structured and comprehensive overview of the research on security solutions for mobile devices.
