Threats and Vulnerabilities of BYOD and Android

Abstract

This paper discusses about the vulnerabilities related to Bring-Your-Own- Device (BYOD) wherein we have explored the concept of containerization and the vulnerability related to BYOD Container. Some mitigation process has also been suggested for this vulnerability. The Second vulnerability - what we have tried to highlight is- the vulnerability arising as the Application Installation Permission cannot be cancelled at the runtime. One solution for this vulnerability dealt in the literature is Context-related access control. Paper has discussed some limitation to that solution also and proposed the solution for the same. We have limited the discussion to Mobile usage of BYOD wherein we have taken Android phones as the base.
