*Context*:  Security for Mobile devices





For several years now, the use of mobile information devices has increased
on a major scale at both the corporate and private level. The problem of
information system security is a renewed concern. In fact, information
system security has long been based on a perimeter defence, focused on a
defined and controlled geographic area for a given information system.
However, with the massive advent of mobile devices and systems (portable
computers, mobile phones, smart phones, wireless networks and forthcoming
broadband service for mobile devices), companies will see a large portion
of their information system operations going beyond their physical borders.
This loss of data perimeter control, combined with the massive advent of
outsourcing systems such as cloud computing, virtualisation or green IT, is
forcing us to rethink security as it is today.





The CyNIC project funded by the Champagne-Ardenne region and the European
Regional Development Fund (ERDF) aims to provide innovative solutions to
the problem of mobile devices security, and specifically for the new
generation of mobile phones named smart phones. The topics for research
involve preventing data leaks in the context of mobility, the design of
monitoring and diagnostic applications and software.



*Job responsibilities: *

-          Security for mobile terminals

-          State of the art for methods (statistics, fudging,
probabilistic, etc.) to detect the hacking of mobile terminals

-          Modelling of the interactions between the on-board applications
and the terminal, and between the applications themselves

-          Proposal of an approach to hacking detection

-          Tests and validations

The approach to be proposed as part of this post-doc position will be
integrated into an auditing and diagnostic application for mobile equipment
systems.

*Other tasks depending on experience:*

-          Participation in related research projects.
