"Researchers demonstrate new firewall that protects cellphones from security threat"
Security researchers at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev have introduced a new firewall, which serves to detect malicious code and deliver a level of security that has been absent from Android cellphones. Research behind the development of this innovative firewall stem from the discovery of a security flaw in the internal communications between the components of an Android cellphone and the cellphone’s CPU. This firewall operates with the use of machine learning algorithms to check for anomalies within the phone’s internal communications. This article further discusses the development of this firewall, how this firewall could be implemented, vulnerabilities emerged from the communication between a phone’s components and CPU, in addition to where more information on this discovery will be presented.
