Time and Location Power Based Malicious Code Detection Techniques for Smartphones

There is a growing number of viruses, malware, and other threats designed to gain access to system resources and information stored on smartphones. This paper examines the effectiveness of three techniques for detecting malicious code based on individual power consumption profiles with a focus on time and location. This project used Google's Android platform for testing and data collection. The paper describes the design, implementation, and evaluation of each of these techniques.
