About the Wireless Hosted Network. The wireless Hosted Network is a new WLAN feature supported on Windows 7 and on Windows Server 2008 R2 with the Wireless LAN Service installed. This feature implements two major functions: The virtualization of a physical wireless adapter into more than one virtual wireless adapter sometimes referred to as Virtual Wi-Fi. A software- based wireless access point (AP) sometimes referred to as a SoftAP that uses a designated virtual wireless adapter. These two functions coexist in a Windows system together. Enabling or disabling the wireless Hosted Network enables or disables both virtual Wi-Fi and SoftAP. It is not possible to enable or disable these two functions separately in Windows. With this feature, a Windows computer can use a single physical wireless adapter to connect as a client to a hardware access point (AP), while at the same time acting as a software AP allowing other wireless-capable devices to connect to it. This feature requires that a Hosted Network capable wireless adapter is installed in the local computer. The driver for the wireless adapter must implement the wireless LAN device driver model defined by Microsoft for use on Windows 7.

  • The Android Platform Security Model∗
    The Android Platform Security Model∗ RENÉ MAYRHOFER, Google and Johannes Kepler University Linz JEFFREY VANDER STOEP, Google CHAD BRUBAKER, Google NICK KRALEVICH, Google Android is the most widely deployed end-user focused operating system. With its growing set of use cases encompassing communication, navigation, media consumption, entertainment, finance, health, and access to sensors, actuators, cameras, or microphones, its underlying security model needs to address a host of practical threats in a wide variety of scenarios while being useful to non-security experts. The model needs to strike a difficult balance between security, privacy, and usability for end users, assurances for app developers, and system performance under tight hardware constraints. While many of the underlying design principles have implicitly informed the overall system architecture, access control mechanisms, and mitigation techniques, the Android security model has previously not been formally published. This paper aims to both document the abstract model and discuss its implications. Based on a definition of the threat model and Android ecosystem context in which it operates, we analyze how the different security measures in past and current Android implementations work together to mitigate these threats. There are some special cases in applying the security model, and we discuss such deliberate deviations from the abstract model. CCS Concepts: • Security and privacy → Software and application security; Domain-specific security and privacy architectures; Operating systems security; • Human-centered computing → Ubiquitous and mobile devices. Additional Key Words and Phrases: Android, security, operating system, informal model 1 INTRODUCTION Android is, at the time of this writing, the most widely deployed end-user operating system.

    Final thesis Energy Consumption Studies for 3G Traffic Consolidation on Android using WiFi and Bluetooth by Ugaitz Moreno Arocena LITH-IDA-EX-2014/ERASMUS-A{14/002{SE 2014-01-05 Final thesis Energy Consumption Studies for 3G Traffic Consolidation on Android using WiFi and Bluetooth by Ugaitz Moreno Arocena LITH-IDA-EX-2014/ERASMUS-A{14/002{SE 2014-01-05 Supervisor: Ekhiotz Jon Vergara Examiner: Simin Nadjm-Tehrani Abstract Mobile phones have evolved from being devices just to make phone calls to become smartphones with added capabilities like surfing the network. Wireless communication has played a very important role in the evolution of smartphones. The work in this thesis aims to study the potential to reduce the energy consumption of the 3G communications by using a hybrid architecture. An idea first presented in the paper by Vergara and Nadjm-Tehrani [1]. This architecture consists of a group of nodes that communicate using WiFi or Bluetooth to forward their traffic using one node's 3G interface. In this thesis the named energy sharing scheme is implemented on Android mobile devices and experiments have been performed using a number of realistic traces to assess achievable gains and the energy footprint of the scheme itself. Even though communication technologies, screen features, multimedia capabilities, or processing power have been taken to the highest level, phones' batteries have not improved at the same speed. Nowadays battery lifetime has become a major issue with respect to cellular communication. With 3G communications Internet connection anytime and anywhere is provided to the terminals but this technology is optimized for peak perfor- mance whereas in underutilization it wastes a lot of energy.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Dissertations - ALL by an authorized administrator of SURFACE. For more information, please contact [email protected]. ABSTRACT Successful realization of practical computer security improvements requires an understanding and insight into the system’s security architecture, combined with a consideration of end-users’ needs as well as the system’s design tenets. In the case of Android, a system with an open, modular architecture that emphasizes usability and performance, acquiring this knowledge and insight can be particularly challenging for several reasons. In spite of Android’s open source philosophy, the system is extremely large and complex, documentation and reference materials are scarce, and the code base is rapidly evolving with new features and fixes. To make matters worse, the vast majority of Android devices in use do not run the open source code, but rather proprietary versions that have been heavily customized by vendors for product dierentiation. Proposing security improvements or making customizations without suicient insight into the system typically leads to less-practical, less-eicient, or even vulnerable results. Point solutions to specific problems risk leaving other similar problems in the distributed security architecture unsolved.

  • Microsoft Incorporates Virtual Wifi Technology Into Windows 7 18 May 2009, by John Messina
    Microsoft Incorporates Virtual WiFi Technology into Windows 7 18 May 2009, by John Messina Windows 7 installs a virtual device if a Hosted Network capable WLAN adapter is present on the PC. This virtual device shows up in the "Network Connections Folder" as 'Wireless Network Connection 2' with a Device Name of 'Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport adapter' if the PC has a single WLAN adapter. This allows the virtual device to be used solely for performing software access point (SoftAP)connections. More technical information aimed at hardware vendors and developers is available at the WinHEC 2008 session, "Wireless LAN Enhancements in Windows 7.? (PhysOrg.com) -- Virtual WiFi will enable Windows © 2009 PhysOrg.com 7 and future operating systems to see a single WLAN adapter as multiple WLAN adapters by the operating system. This feature is available in Windows 7 RC1, however because there are no hardware drivers to support this, the feature remains inactive. Some of you may wonder why you would ever need more than one WLAN adapter in your PC. There may be a few circumstances where multiple WLAN adapters would be needed. For instance, you may want to connect to one wireless network and use the virtual adapter to turn your PC into a hot spot so that other computers could connect to and share the internet access. Another example, for using virtual WiFi, may be where you're connected to an existing wireless access point and want to connect to another network whether that is a separate access point or even set up an ad-hoc connection, Virtual WiFi will allow you to do just that.
