...BlackBerry Limited: "Should Blackberry switch to Android?" Abstract With its introduction in 1999, Blackberry was a cutting-edge mobile company who changed the very industry that it struggles to stay afloat within today. Every so often we hear the question, should BlackBerry drop their current operating system and use Android as a replacement? Initially it may sound like a good idea, after all Android is the number one smartphone operating system globally. And with BlackBerry’s platform struggling, why not go with the leader? Well, that answer may simply boil down to security, yes security. BlackBerry has always offered a platform that is secure end-to-end. In a June 26, 2014 press release, it was announced that Google will adopt part of Samsung’s KNOX as a security platform for Android which is a business-oriented security solution that will keep work and personal data separate and secure on a single device. BlackBerry’s CEO Chen says that it is a step in the right direction for Android but Samsung KNOX he says “is a fort built upon an insecure foundation” and he also points out the fact that there are tens of millions of secure BlackBerrys and only a few million phones with KNOX. And though that may be true there will be many more soon. How much longer can BlackBerry stay afloat in an Apple, Android, and Windows dominated market? BlackBerry got touchscreens wrong, they got apps wrong, and now all they have left is security. It’s a nice feature, but is it enough? ...

...directly rather than from behind corporate firewalls and intrusion-protection systems. Security of mobile devices focuses on controlling access through the use of device locks and hardware data encryption. While this may be sufficient for individual users, it is insufficient for defense needs. Many documented examples exist of hacking of the device lock, as well as defeats of the hardware-level encryption. Once the device is unlocked, there is generally unfettered access to all apps and their associated data. Military applications require additional application-level access controls to provide data security. Unfortunately, there are gaps in the application-level security model of the two predominant mobile operating systems: iOS from Apple and Google Android. Our ongoing research1 looks to address these gaps by developing innovative approaches for fine-grained data protection and access control, taking into account mobile device usage patterns, device characteristics, and usability. Mobile Applications Security Threat Vectors Many threat vectors for infecting personal computers arise from social-engineering attacks that bypass anti-virus defenses. Similar techniques are used in the smartphone and tablet world by...
