“…In practice, hackers most commonly attract their victims by downloading useful applications and popular video games to which they attach the malware source before releasing them into the market. When the users install these on their mobile devices, they unwittingly introduce malware to the system (Safavi, Shukur et al 2013). In 2010, Costin, Raiu, and Kaspersky reported that they discovered TrojanSMS-the first Trojan working with the Android operating system.…”

The Smartphone industry has expanded significantly over the last few years. According to the available data, each year, a marked increase in the number of devices in use is observed. Most consumers opt for Smartphones due to the extensive number of software applications that can be downloaded on their devices, thus increasing their functionality. However, this growing trend of application installation brings an issue of user protection, as most applications seek permission to access data on a user’s device. The risks this poses to sensitive data is real to both corporate and individual users. While Android has grown in popularity, this trend has not been followed by the efforts to increase the security of its users. This is a well-known set of problems, and prior solutions have approached it from the ground up; that is, they have focused on implementing reasonable security policies within the Android’s open-source kernel. While these solutions have achieved the goals of improving Android with such security policies, they are severely hampered by the way in which they have implemented them. In this work, a framework referred to as CenterYou is proposed to overcome these issues. It applies a pseudo data technique and a cloud-based decision-making system to scan and protect Smartphone devices from unnecessarily requested permissions by installed applications and identifies potential privacy leakages. The current paper demonstrated all aspects of the CenterYou application technical design. The work presented here provides a significant contribution to the field, as the technique based on pseudo data is used in the actual permissions administration of Android applications. Moreover, this system is user and cloud-driven, rather than being governed by over-privileged applications.

“…The underlying blockchain protocol is secure and stable, to a great extent owing to the way that any malicious actor(s) endeavoring to modify (i.e., "attack and change," generally said to be as 51% attack) the chain would need to control a larger part of the computing power related with the blockchain [32,33].…”

Smart homes and healthcare have increasingly grown more popular in the recent years. Due to the amount of data, it records the need for a more secure method is needed to ensure security and privacy. Consequently, these methods can also ensure security and privacy in Smart health. The intended outcome of this review paper is to analyze the problems which people might be facing related to security issues in their smart homes and initiate a discussion on how healthcare devices which come in a package by future homes are vulnerable to cyber attacks which will result into data breaches. By reviewing previous literature, this paper proposes blockchain as a method to improve security and privacy in smart homes and smart healthcare. Using this platform, we debated about the uprising blockchain technology which may contribute to these elements and how its components can assist healthcare to grow with complete security in mind. This research discusses how blockchain based solutions may give rise to future homes and healthcare based on an ideal framework.

The increasing human need for Internet access requires Internet access service that is easy to do as the availability of Wi-Fi hotspot. Among the many Wi-Fi hotspots in public service locations in Yogyakarta is still very little attention to the security of data communications on the wireless network. This makes the hacker be interested to discover his ability to perform various activities of cybercrime. This study aims to analyze and test the Wi-Fi network security contained in locations of public services in Yogyakarta. The method used in this study is a qualitative method that consists of five main steps, namely the study of literature, the issue of criteria WiFi, research instruments, data collection, and analysis. The location of public services, Wi-Fi hotspot providers selected in three categories: hotel, restaurant / cafe, and educational institutions. Each public service category taken sample 5 different locations. Testing is done with action that leads to crime by type of action such as sniffing, DNS spoofing and hijacking. The results showed that the majority of Wi-Fi located at the location of public service vulnerable to criminal attack. Wi-Fi throughout the studied (100%) are not secure against sniffing activities, 80% are not secure against DNS spoofing activities, and 66.6% are not secure against hijacking action.
