MobiX: A software proposal based authentication service for mobile devices

In this paper, MobiX technology provides security for online services using mobile devices with a wide range of customers including governments, military, business enterprises, and scientific organization, and individuals have been proposed. MobiX is a software security solution technology to enhance the networked mobile device trustworthiness, application integrity, preventing users from malware attacks. MobiX provides two authentication layers and two additional security layers in addition to the conventional username-password for mobile devices in a unique system design. MobiX is fully implemented by software; therefore, it can be quickly deployed into different legacy mobile devices. More importantly, the novel device authenticity is based on the one-way a keyless cryptographic hash function and on the Generalized Concatenated Code Physically Unclonable Function (GCCPUF) to effectively protect the users from different attack vectors such as insiders, spoofing attack, or identity theft attacks. On the other hand, the app authenticity prevents malware and app-tempering cybersecurity attacks via an efficient and secure remote attestation protocol. The comprehensive protection architecture of MobiX would enable M-commerce with superior security capabilities compared with the existing solutions.
