Our PBS paper in the finalist (TOP 10) of 2016 CSAW Best Applied Security Paper Award
Our PBS paper was selected into the finalist (top 10) of 2016 CSAW Best Applied Security Paper Award.
Congratulations to Kevin!
In this paper, we present PBS (Programmable BYOD Security), a new security solution to enable fine-grained, application-level network security programmability for the purpose of network management and policy enforcement on mobile apps and devices. Our work is motivated by another emerging and powerful concept, SDN (Software-Defined Networking). With a novel abstraction of mobile device elements (e.g., apps and network interfaces on the device) into conventional SDN network elements, PBS intends to provide network-wide, context-aware, app-specific policy enforcement at run-time without introducing much overhead on a resource-constrained mobile device, and without the actual deployment of SDN switches in enterprise networks.
