Abstract:
This paper proposes new firewall for protecting smartphone from cyber threats. The key idea is to offload firewall functions to OpenFlow-capable wireless access points (APs). The widespread use of smartphones requires protection against cyber threats targeted to the device. Our research group therefore explored the suitable protection schemes and found that the OpenFlow-capable APs are able to facilitate configuring filtering rules, and also make defense at the closest point to the issued device, as well as saving energy consumption whereas firewall applications work on smartphone heavily drain battery life. In this paper, we design and implement our proto-type implementation along with our consideration, show information pipelining in order to provide cyber defense from threat information, and discuss its interoperabiity aspect from international standardization work.
