Introduction Battery Sensing Intrusion Protection System (BSIPS) MVPIDS Design and Methodology MVPIDS Testing and Results Conclusions References
INTRODUCTION
Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) and smart phones, also known as Portable Information Devices (PIDs), are less computationally powerful than desktop and laptop Personal Computers (PCs), but possess many of the same features and allow for much of the same functionality. Two defining features included in PIDs are Wi-Fi and Bluetooth capabilities. This research shows that the addition of an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) on PIDs can greatly enhance their security. This research addresses mobile device security and extends the original Battery Sensing Intrusion Protection System (B-SIPS) design by introducing the Multi Vector Portable Intrusion Detection Technology (MVPIDT) and a newly developed research system, Bluetooth Attack Detection and Signature System (BADSS).
DESIGN
1.B-SIPS Client: B-SIPS client attack detection is based on
irregularities in device IC changes. B-SIPS clients poll the smart battery for voltage, current, temperature, percent battery life, battery flag, and AC line status to determine battery consumption status.
3.BADSS Module: used for Bluetooth attack detection 4.CIDE Server: The CIDE server functions as the supervisor
for the system, performing attack correlation and developing grounds for administrative action. The correlation and administrative analysis is done external to the PID by design due to limited memory, battery power, and processing constraints of PIDs.
Battery Drain of PIDs Running the MVPIDT Version of the B-SIPS Client: PID battery depletion lifetimes under idle
conditions were established as a baseline to compare all other successive tests to. With this benchmark in place, the B-SIPS client was then tested for efficiency. The B-SIPS client must not have a significant negative impact on a PIDs battery lifetime for it to be successful in the mobile environment. The test setup used for this set of time trials is similar to that used to obtain battery lifetimes of PIDs under idle conditions. All devices were again fully charged, configured into their maximum performance states, and timed using the time logger application. The MVPIDT version of the B-SIPS client was started and allowed to continually run for the entire duration of the test.

Conclusion
MVPIDS creates a viable solution to improve the security of PIDs. Mobile devices have an inherent need to function under stringent hardware constraints, causing the securing of these devices to often be done as an afterthought in the design process. To mitigate this design weakness and greatly enhance the security of PIDs, MVPIDS was created. Using a hybrid approach to intrusion detection, our work confirms that PIDs can be secured in malicious environments by integrating IC anomaly triggers with attack signature correlation for WiFi and Bluetooth traffic.
