MXS—which stands for Mobile’s X% Solution—is believed to be the first YOU NEED TO BUILD YOUR BUSINESS. empirically based study that gives guidance to marketers on how they can rebalance their marketing mix to achieve a higher return on their marketing dollars. MXS bypasses the equation used by some that share of time (should) equal share of budget and instead looks at an ROI analysis of mobile based on actual market cost, and current mobile effectiveness impact, as well as U.S. smartphone penetration and phone usage data (reach and frequency). The most important takeaways are as follows: • The study concludes that the optimized level of spend on mobile advertising for U.S. marketers in 2012 should be seven percent, on average, vs. the current budget allocation of less than one percent. Adjustments should be considered based on marketing goal and industry category. • Further, the analysis indicates that over the next 4 years, mobile’s share of the media mix is calculated to increase to at least 10 percent on average based on increased adoption of smartphones alone.

    MOBILE SMART FUNDAMENTALS MMA MEMBERS EDITION OCTOBER 2012 messaging . advertising . apps . mcommerce www.mmaglobal.com NEW YORK • LONDON • SINGAPORE • SÃO PAULO MOBILE MARKETING ASSOCIATION OCTOBER 2012 REPORT The 2012 Mobile Election In 2008, when Obama was first elected as President, smartphones were just gaining popularity and tablets were R&D blueprints somewhere in Silicon Valley. Fast-forward to 2012, President Obama tweets on average 29 times a day and both parties have mobile apps explaining their policies. The election is a perfect indicator of the power of mobile and how it transformed the campaign process. As reported in VatorNews, one in ten Americans “dual-screened” the presidential debates on their TVs and on their mobile devices. Additionally, 35% of smartphones owners used their mobile device to fact check what was being said during the debates. Fundraising also received a technological face-lift. Obama initiated a mobile messaging campaign to encourage donations via SMS. And both Obama and Romney used Square at fundraising events for people to donate with their credit cards. By the 2016 elections, who knows what type of advancements we will make with mobile. According to a survey conducted by Mojiva, 85% of respondents would consider using their mobile device to vote on Election Day. Imagine mobile voting in a cab or on the treadmill or while you wait for coffee in Starbucks. The impact of mobile on the elections is not only apparent but should serve as inspiration for marketers aiming to move closer to consumers. With mobile, both Obama and Romney made a connection with constituents that was rich, dynamic and contextually relevant.

  • Security and Privacy of Users' Personal Information on Smartphones
    Security and Privacy of Users’ Personal Information on Smartphones by Veelasha Moonsamy Bachelor of IT Honours (BIT Hon) Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Deakin University December, 2014 Abstract The recent surge in the popularity of smartphones has shifted the focus of malware attackers from the desktop platform onto that of the smartphone platform. Smart- phones, which are hand-held devices with significantly more computational power than traditional mobile phones, store a wide range of personally identifiable infor- mation about their users in order for smartphone applications to function properly. As a result, malware authors are able to acquire private and confidential information about the victims by successfully deploying their attacks. Such information could be later used for blackmailing or trading in underground markets. Thus, the challenge of smartphone malware detection is directly related to the increasing number of smartphone users and applications available. As the number of smartphone malware continues to rapidly increase, there is an urgent need to deploy detection and classification frameworks that can cope with the large volume of suspicious applications and efficiently detect and classify malware. In this thesis, I consider the Android platform as a case study because it is an open-source platform and has the highest number of malicious applications. I begin by proposing a pattern mining algorithm to generate contrasting permission patterns that can distinguish clean from malicious applications. The permission patterns were then used to identify malware. I propose a linear classifier that uses permission patterns as features. These patterns are unique to malicious applications only and can also be used to conduct a high-level malware triage.
