Description
This lecture covers mobile security on an application and system level, with many hands-on exercises. Students will learn state-of-the-art security concepts for both iOS and Android. They will be able to perform security testing of mobile apps, mobile malware analysis, and testing security-critical components within mobile operating systems. Course contents include:
- Threat modeling for mobile devices and apps,
- building mobile applications with Xcode and Android Studio (guest lecture by Tarek Galal),
- application security and testing,
- mobile malware capabilities and detection,
- operating system internals, such as inter-process communication, threads, ...,
- kernel and firmware security,
- mobile forensics, and
- wireless security.
Requirements
A strong programming background in any language is recommended. As part of the exercises, students will modify existing mobile applications. Depending on the app and environment they choose, this is Kotlin/Java on Andriod or Swift/Objective-C on iOS.
Students require an Android phone or iPhone in developer mode to be able to complete the assignments. Alternatively, a laptop with at least 16GB of RAM is suitable to run an Andriod VM inside Android Studio.
