Proactive security for mobile messaging networks

Content Provider ACM Digital Library
Author Bose, Abhijit Shin, Kang G.
Abstract The interoperability of IM (Instant Messaging) and SMS (Short Messaging Service) networks allows users to seamlessly use a variety of computing devices from desktops to cellular phones and mobile handhelds. However, this increasing convergence has also attracted the attention of malicious software writers. In the past few years, the number of malicious codes that target messaging networks, primarily IM and SMS, has been increasing exponentially. Large message volume and number of users in these networks renders manual mitigation of malicious software nearly impossible. This paper proposes automated and proactive security models to protect messaging networks from mobile worms and viruses. First, we present an algorithm for automated identification of the most vulnerable clients in the presence of a malicious attack, based on interactions among the clients. The simplicity of our approach enables easy integration in most client-server messaging systems. Next, we describe a proactive containment framework that applies two commonly-used mechanisms---rate-limiting and quarantine---to the dynamically-generated list of vulnerable clients in a messaging network whenever a worm or virus attack is suspected. Finally, we evaluate the effectiveness of proactive security in a cellular network using data from a large real-life SMS customer network, and compare it against other existing approaches. Most messaging networks can implement our proposed framework without any major modification of their existing infrastructure.

About National Digital Library of India (NDLI)
NDLI logo

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
