Abstract

The threats mobile phone users face, are about to increase due to the rapid penetration of advanced smartphone devices and the growing Internet access using them. As such, reinforcing users’ security has become a critical imperative. This paper refers to a system that pinpoints and informs mobile phone users that have a low security level, thus helping them protect themselves. The system consists of software-application, installed in mobile phones as well as of software and data bases, installed in the mobile telephony operators’ servers. Mobile telephony providers (by adopting this application), as well as manufacturers (by pre-installing it in their phones), could help mitigate the increased security threats effectively protecting the end users.
