project

People install software on wireless devices without thinking about security.  Google has had a difficult time keeping Android.Spy.277.origin malware out of the Google Play Store; there are literally hundreds of malicious apps that carry it. Recently, malware gangs were discovered paying legitimate Android developers to include malware in their apps. Some people object to Apple’s walled garden approach, but there is significantly less malware out there for iOS than Android, so it appears to help, at least at the surface level.  Research the problems of malware and data security / leakage on these two primary mobile OS platforms, and make a recommendation as to which you would recommend for a private user, and which for a corporate user.  Make sure to thoroughly explain why, and to use the various modules from this semester to justify your choices.  The EOS Project will require the student to write a research paper not to exceed 3000 words, double-spaced, excluding the title page and works cited section.  The EOS Project must adhere to the standards set forth in the APA guidelines.  See the project description section for the guidelines and instructions for this assignment.
