Abstract

Smartphones have taken a center stage in the daily activities of individuals and organizations across the world. Despite the positive impacts smartphones come with, the use of smartphones also has serious cyber security implications on the users. One of the most common attacks on smartphones is the camera-based attack. This research paper presents a revealed architectural algorithm highlighting how the camera-based attack are carried out and which functions of the smartphones are being used to aid the attack process. This research work also gives an overview of the global smartphone use and it’s reported cyber attack. The generalized smartphone architecture and it’s vulnerabilities are also presented in this research paper.
