ABSTRACT
The ease with which security flaws in today’s mobile devices can be exploited underscores the need for mobile security research. The advent of the Internet of Things (IoT) increases the need for robust security mechanisms that can withstand a range of attacks. This paper analyzes the current state of the mobile security research related to supporting the IoT. We survey existing approaches and identify gaps that motivate future research.
