Abstract

Nowadays, Smartphones have become the most widely used communication technology because of their portability and relatively low cost. Its use has been increased and at least seven billion people (93% of the global population) have access to a mobile-cellular network, according to the ICT Facts and Figures report 2019. Therefore, mobile security plays an important role in protecting information for users. In this context is important to propose frameworks to develop secure mobile applications. To achieve this, a Systematic Literature Review was performed. The result of this protocol allowed to establish the state-of-the-art of secure mobile software development. The findings also encourage to the creation of a framework proposal in a future work for this research.
