        Battery-based anomaly detection on mobile devices

        Annotation:

        Detection of unknown attack types for mobile devices stays up-to-date, but existing mobile security software aims at detecting known attacks. Offered method of anomaly detection in mobile devices' behavior is based on power consumption homogeneity analysis. Method allows to detect deviations in normal behavior for anomalies of any type (anomalous network activity, anomalous computing resources' usage etc.), because power consumption is the universal characteristic, which depends on any system activity.
