Abstract

With the constant evolution of mobile telephony and technological technological advance, cell phones are having an increasing increase in processing power. increase in processing power. Through this advance came the possibility of exchanging data between phones or accessing the Internet at high speed. As such, opportunities have opened up for new security problems. Some of them, still little explored in devices, but which can cause many problems and data loss, are viruses and and data loss, are viruses and malicious code. The studies in this monograph are aimed at preventing the modification of the of the cell phone, in order to prevent viruses and malicious code from from changing the operating system. Hash and backup techniques on secure hardware are used to provide an authentic copy of the operating system. operating system. This environment for OS protection is proposed implemented and executed in practical experiments.
