title = "Security in mobile computing: Attack vectors, solutions, and challenges",
abstract = "With the growth of the mobile industry, a smart phone has the ability to store large amounts of valuable data such as personal and bank information, the users{\textquoteright} location, call logs and more. Thus, the security of data in the mobile world has become an important issue. The main objective of this survey paper is to review the state-of-the-art technologies for the security of mobile computing. It covers the modern mobile operating systems that are being widely used today. It also identifies the various types of attack vectors particularly designed to infect mobile devices and highlights the available security solution to counter each type of attack.
