Item Attacks on Android-Based Smartphones and Impact of Vendor Customization on Android OS Security(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2020) Kumar, S.; Kittur, L.J.; Pais, A.R.Smartphones are ubiquitous today, and they contain a large amount of personal and sensitive information. It is, therefore, essential to secure the underlying operating system. Android is the dominant operating system among the smartphone market; therefore, it is critical to uphold the security standards of Android. Android smartphone manufacturers and third-party custom ROM developers modify the operating system heavily to differentiate themselves among the competitors. The modifications done by the Smartphone manufacturers and third-party custom ROM developers posses a threat to the smartphone user’s privacy and make the Android OS vulnerable to advanced persistent threat (APT) attacks. This paper demonstrates that Smartphone manufacturers and third-party custom ROM developers can bypass Android’s security mechanisms and breach the user’s privacy without getting detected by the user by modifying parts of Android OS except for the kernel. In particular, this paper shows methods by which APT attacks can be performed on the Android 10’s Camera subsystem to capture pictures from the camera and upload them to a remote server without the user’s knowledge. © 2020, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.Item Empowering Women's Safety with smart IoT Technology: A Robust Protection System(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2023) Ramesh, N.V.K.; Alaparthi, A.; Sai Charan, G.; Settipalli, R.; Velga, P.; Vani, B.V.Nowadays, women's safety has emerged as one of the world's most pressing issues, and crime against women has significantly increased nationwide. The frequency of auto theft and accidents has increased significantly as compared to the previous decade. The value of a human life exceeds all other values, and it is more crucial to seek assistance when you do so than to provide a helping hand. Every day, women from all walks of life struggle to maintain their safety and defend themselves. In the presence of insensitive guys who regularly harass, assault, and violate the dignity of women, and in front of their wandering eyes. Public transport, especially public places, has become hunter territory. For these atrocities that women undergo current scenario A clever wearable safety tool for girls primarily based totally at the Internet of Things is being implemented. It consists of a Arduino, Camera and a buzzer, and a button to activate the service. This unit is very remote and with the click of a button, it is activated by the victim when attacked, retrieves their current location and captures images of the victim Attacker via Esp32 Cam Module. A predetermined contact number will receive both the taken image and the location link. It monitors through the victim's smartphone and avoids the usage of additional hardware or modules, keeping the device compact. Live video streaming is via webcam and live Position is obtained by GPS module. This paper makes a collision avoidance and detection systems. There are numerous initiatives being taken with the goal of saving lives. The proposed study intends to develop an IoT-based security system that prioritises protecting women. © 2023 IEEE.
